Produktbeschreibung
Her reputation ruined by one impetuous mistake, Lady Kyra Sterling lives as a recluse, determined never to make herself vulnerable to love again. She has her art and her flowers for solace. And that is enough-until a dashing wounded war hero come to stay at the neighboring estate. Hoping to heal his guilt over the battlefield death of his cousin Jack, Rafael de Villafranca has come to visit his English uncle. He's also looking for some peace and solitude in order to turn his Spanish grandmother's historical notes and recipes for Theobroma cacao into a book. He doesn't expect to strike up an acquaintance with his shy neighbor, but when he meets Kyra sketching in woods and sees her marvelous botanical watercolors, they begin to bond over art . . . and chocolate! But their budding friendship is soon challenged when the man who ruined Kyra returns, desperate for her dowry, and threatens to stir up fresh scandal if she doesn't marry him. Now she must make a difficult decision-does she make herself vulnerable again and seek Rafael's help? Or does she allow the past to destroy all hope of future happiness?

Autorenporträt
I started creating books at the age of five, or so my mother tells me. And she has the proof-a neatly penciled story, the pages lavishly illustrated with full color crayon drawings of horses and bound with staples-to back up her claim. I have since moved on from Westerns to writing about Regency England (clearly I have a thing for Men In Boots!) a time and place that has captured my imagination ever since I opened the covers of Jane Austen's "Pride and Prejudice."I have a BA and an MFA in Graphic Design from Yale University, where I studied book design (As you see, I've always had a left brain-right brain love affair with art and the printed word.) These days, when I'm not tethered to my keyboard I enjoy traveling to interesting destinations around the world-however, my favorite spot is London, where the esoteric museums, funky antique markets and used book stores offer a wealth of inspiration for my stories.
