London, 1666: Amethyst Goldsmith makes dazzling jewelry, but her future isn't nearly as bright as the pieces she creates. Though custom dictates she wed her father's apprentice, her heart rebels against the match. In mere days Amy will be condemned to a stifling, loveless marriage, and she sees no way out--until the devastating fire of 1666 sweeps through London, and tragedy lands her in the arms of a dashing nobleman who knows a diamond in the rough when he sees it...
Colin Chase, the Earl of Greystone, has his future all figured out. He's restoring his crumbling castle and estate to its former glory, and the key to its completion is his rich bride-to-be. But the Great Fire lays waste to his plans, saddling him with trouble--in the form of a lowly shopkeeper's daughter with whom he's most inconveniently falling in love...

About the author
I decided to become a writer in the
third grade (or, as my Canadian friends call it, grade three), after
winning a "Why My Mother is the Greatest" essay contest and having my
entry published in a major newspaper. Seeing my words in print was a
thrill! But everyone told me it's too hard for novelists to get
published, so after college I spent fourteen years as the CEO of my own
jewelry store chain before writing my first book. A mistake?
Maybe...but my first heroine, Amethyst, was a jeweler, so at least I
took advantage of that wise old saying, "Write what you know." And I
learned a good lesson: Don't let other people tell you what you can or
can't do!I write humorous historical romance mostly set in England and Scotland in the 17th and 19th centuries (Restoration and Regency periods). I've been oh-so-lucky to see my books hit bestseller lists all over the world, including the New York Times and USA Today lists, making this second career a real dream come true. I live in Southern California with my husband, our three young adult children, and one constantly shedding cat, and I still think my mother is the greatest!
