For as long as Princess Amelia could remember, Prince Reginald had always been a royal pain. But to secure an alliance for her country, she had to marry him. Hardly a fairy tale come true. Especially when her real prince is Lord Russell, Reginald's right-hand man.
Lord Russell, Duke of Carrington, had always put his duty before everything. But for love and Amelia, could he betray his country and future king?
Will there be a happily-ever-after for Amelia and Russell? Find out as you are invited to a royal wedding....
Born in West Germany, arrived in the U.S. at four, I began
writing when I was eleven. I began selling many years after
that. Along the way, I acquired a Masters in Shakespearean
Comedy from Queens College in N.Y, a husband and two kids
(in that order)---the dog came later.
My first romance was bought by Second Chance
At Love November of 1981. The road from there to here has a
hundred and thirty-seven more sales to it. I've been
published by Silhouette, Harlequin, Zebra, Harper, Bantam
and Berkeley. I've been fortunate enough to have
received several Rita nominations from the Romance Writers
of America Association over the years, with one win for
Father Goose (in the Traditional Romance Category).
I've also been nominated several times in various
categories by Romantic Times Magazine. I hope to be
found one day---many, many years from now---slumped
over my computer, writing to the last moment. But before
then, I would dearly love to write a successful screenplay.
My goal has always been to entertain.
Entertainment Weekly 2015 named me the fifth most
prolific romance author of all time---and I have since
moved up to the fourth position, having published 296 works.
