LORD'S LAMENT Within moments of meeting young Samantha Ardsley, the devilishly handsome Zachary St. John, Earl of Royston, had proposed. The mischief that danced in her emerald-green eyes held the promise that marriage to Samantha would provide him with heirs and entertainment. But the high-spirited Lady Samantha was more than the Earl of Royston had bargained for. He had agreed to give up his notorious bachelor life for his bride, but his new lady apparently had no intention of curtailing her own activities. Her outlandish behavior on the streets of London proved to be more than her adoring husband could endure. The threat of losing his young bride, however, was enough to deter Royston from trying to subdue her. Life with Samantha was completely unpredictable, but the one certainty in his life was that he could never live without the delightfully irrepressible woman he loved.
Author
Kasey Michaels is the New York Times and USA Today bestselling author of more than 100 books (she doesn't count them). Kasey has received three coveted Starred Reviews from Publishers Weekly, two for the historical romances, THE SECRETS OF THE HEART and THE BUTLER DID IT, and a third for contemporary romance LOVE TO LOVE YOU BABY (that shows diversity, you see). She is a recipient of the RITA, a Waldenbooks and Bookrak Bestseller award, and many awards from Romantic Times magazine, including a Career Achievement award for her Regency era historical romances. She is an Honor Roll author in Romance Writers of America, Inc. (RWA) Kasey has appeared on the TODAY show, and was the subject of a Lifetime Cable TV show "A Better Way," in conjunction with Good Housekeeping magazine, a program devoted to women and how they have achieved career success in the midst of motherhood (short version: "with great difficulty"). A highly praised nonfiction book, written as Kathryn Seidick, "...OR YOU CAN LET HIM GO," details the story of Kasey and her family during the time of her eldest son's first kidney transplant. Kasey has written Regency romances, Regency historicals, category books including novellas and continuities and a few series "launch" books, and single title contemporaries. She has coped with time travel, ghosts, trilogies, the dark side, the very light side, and just about everything in between. Hers is also the twisted mind behind her ongoing Maggie Kelly mystery series starring a former romance writer turned historical mystery writer whose gorgeous hunk of a fictional hero shows up, live and in color, in her Manhattan living room – to melt her knees, to help her solve murders, and to leave the top off her toothpaste. And, says Kasey, she's just getting started!
