Time-travel romances have made Lynn Kurland a bestseller in the here-and-now.
Montgomery de Piaget attracts responsibilities like blossoms lure bees. Where other knights have bonny brides, laughing children, and noble quests, he has the task of rebuilding the most dilapidated castle in all of England. A bit of magic might aid him—if only he still believed in that sort of thing.
When Pippa Alexander is invited to England to provide costumes for an upscale party, she jumps at the chance to showcase her own line of fairy-tale inspired designs. Not even her older sister’s decision to act as Fairy Queen crushes Pippa’s hope that this time, she’ll wind up wearing the glass slippers. Not that she believes in fairy tales, or magic that whispers along the hallways of an honest-to-goodness medieval castle...
But the castle is full of more than cobwebs, and danger lurks in unexpected places. And only time will tell if Montgomery and Pippa can overcome both to find their own happily every after . . .
Lynn Kurland is the national bestselling author of seven novels and four novellas. A full-time writer, she lives in the Pacific Northwest with her family. People often ask me why I choose to write romance. As I look back over my own tastes in reading, I've come to realize that no matter what I read while growing up, there was never enough love story in it for me! I've read Tolkien's Lord of the Rings trilogy 14 times and every single time I find myself looking for more pages to find out exactly what happened to Aragorn and Arwen. I wanted details! So after years of reading fantasy, science fiction and mystery, I picked up my first romance in college. I was hooked. Finally, a story where the love story had center stage! I made my own tentative attempts and after a few creations fit only for the recycle bin, my first ghost story, Stardust of Yesterday, came to be. While I have a captive audience, let me thank those of you who have been so supportive of my work. It's because of you, your letters and emails, and your willingness to shell out your hard-earned money for my books that I'm able to do something I love to do-and do it the way I want to. My publisher has given me enormous freedom in what and how I write, but that has only come because kind readers such as you who have continued to support my work. I love to write. I love everything about it. (Well, all right, I'm not really wild about reviews now and then, but if you can't take the heat . . .) I love having the chance to bring some of my favorite characters to life.
