‘Tis better to have loved and lost . . . or is it?
The author about this novel:“Azalea was the first book I ever wrote, though it received a lot of revision before finally seeing print as my seventh published book! Harlequin published it in 1994 as half of a 2-in-1 volume, Regency Diamonds, so I was delighted to finally give Azalea a chance to shine on its own!”

She should be choosing a husband…not aching for the duke who can never be hers.
The author on how she started writing:“I started writing when my second son was only about a year old and I was still home on maternity leave, not looking to go back to work since I had two small children. During that time, I started to read historical romance and just fell in love with the genre. I wasn’t a romance reader prior to this, but as soon as I opened my first Stephanie Laurens book I was a goner.”

A phony engagement turns into real passion in this delightful Regency romance from award-winning author Anne Gracie.
The author on intended and unintended themes while writing:“I have a reader in America who writes to me after every book and tells me my themes and it’s very interesting because I frequently have not intended or noticed them myself. There may be some thematic things that I’ll deliberately emphasise, but I don’t sit down and think, “What’s my theme?” or anything like that. When writing I’m just trying to make the story work and make it fun, but there are clearly things happening in the brain that are pulling it all into line.”

After a broken engagement, a woman heads west for a new life and falls for the local sheriff in this inspirational historical romance.
The author on the genre she prefers to write:“I currently write Regency Era fiction. I’ve always been a lover of history, and I’ve written everything from 1810’s England up through World War I home front America. My current interest in Regency fiction came about through reading several novels set during that time, and I’m also wanting to really sink my teeth into new and exciting research.”
Erica Vetsch
A heart-lifting story of love, faith, and courage with an eventful and unforgettable adventure of the heart and spirit.
How faith impacts the author’s storytelling:“A storyteller must write for the heart, and I write from my heart. My purpose is to help shape young women’s lives—to tell stories of God’s love and forgiveness in a way that encourages women to make wise choices in life, regardless of what others are doing.”
