Elusive Passion
by Kathryn Smith

Searching for her best friend's murderer, Varya accepts that she will need the help of the dangerously attractive Marquess of Wynter. What she finds more difficult to accept is that she seems to be falling in love with the man who broke her best friend's heart.

Kathryn Smith's Bio

During mandatory reading time in the Nova Scotia school system, Kathryn Smith was the only kid in her 9th grade class allowed to write rather than read. When classmates began passing around the pages of her stories, Kathryn decided fiction writing was what she wanted to do with her life. 12 years (and numerous false starts) later, she quit her job in retail and gave her dream a shot. Her first attempt at a romance resulted in four hundred pages of cliches and bad melodrama. Thankfully it was rejected by any and all who saw it. Her second attempt, ELUSIVE PASSION was published by Avon in April 2001. Kathryn hasn't stopped writing since. Currently she lives in Ottawa, Ontario with her wonderful husband and a cat who is slightly less than wonderful. Kathryn is working on her next Avon.
