It has been five years since a brutal Indian raid claimed Brighid Cassidy's family. But with the resilience and generosity of a young girl, Brighid has grown accustomed to the beautifully simple life of the tribe that took her hostage, then loved her as one of their own. Now a peace treaty is forcing tier to return to civilization, and a society that she is sure will never accept tier. She wants to despise dashing, blond Philip Crown, the distinguished English peer who escorts her back to Pennsylvania, yet even this desire is undermined by his warn smile and gentle manner.... When the Young Earl Philip Crown promised to fulfill a family obligation by showing the long-lost captive home, the last thing he expected was to fall in love with her penetrating aquamarine eyes. As wild as the Indians she's lived with, and as stubborn as tier Irish ancestors, Brighid remains as irresistible to him as she is unfathomable. But there is one thing Philip knows for certain: he must convince the spirited Brighid that happiness can be found beyond the wild life she has known...in the arms of an English nobleman.
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!
