Prospero's Daughter
by Nancy Butler

HEALING HEARTS

Morgan Pierce is repaying a debt of honor by helping the illustrious General Sir Janus Palfry write his memoirs. He's not happy about leaving London—and the affair he has just begun with a most delectable married woman. But after a week at Palfry Park, Morgan is thoroughly enticed by its honeyed comforts—and most especially by a mysterious woman in a Bath chair.

Miranda Runyon is recovering from a carriage accident. Neglected by her family, she spends her time alone, confined to a Bath chair. One day, a dashing stranger enters her life. Shaken by the encounter, Miranda rebuffs him—but Morgan Pierce will not be put off for long. Soon, Miranda finds herself being transformed by his attentions body and soul. But when unforeseen events suddenly intervene—will their burgeoning love for each other withstand the test?

Nancy Butler's Bio

Nancy Butler has been an Anglophile since she was nineteen, when she traveled to England to see Carnaby Street. ("I blame it on the Beatles!") Her frequent visits to an American friend living in London have furnished her with enough inspiration to keep writing Regencies well into the new millennium.

Butler resides in northern New Jersey with two cats, Aja and Puck, surrounded by her collection of artwork, funky antiques, and books. When she manages to get away from her computer, she can usually be found riding her quarter horse mare, Ginger, through the scenic wilds of Bergen County. Butler is the 1998 Golden Leaf Award winner for Best First Novel.
