About the Author:
A fourth-generation Californian of Scottish descent, Amanda Scott is the author of more than fifty romantic novels, many of which appeared on the USA Today bestseller list. Her Scottish heritage and love of history (she received undergraduate and graduate degrees in history at Mills College and California State University, San Jose, respectively) inspired her to write historical fiction. Credited by Library Journal with starting the Scottish romance subgenre, Scott has also won acclaim for her sparkling Regency romances. She is the recipient of the Romance Writers of America’s RITA Award (for Lord Abberley’s Nemesis, 1986) and the RT Book Reviews Career Achievement Award. She lives in central California with her husband.
From Library Journal:
Determined to make the best of an arranged marriage to Lord Michael St. Ledgers, a man she has scarcely met, intelligent, resourceful Anne Davies has her plate full dealing with an ancestral manor, two children, and an enigmatic husband. However, the estate is also home to sinister goings-on, and Anne soon becomes involved in life-threatening pursuits. An appealing heroine, a hero who develops quite nicely, and a wide-ranging cast of characters (including a balloonist uncle) add to this well-researched, humorous, but occasionally dark historical set just prior to the Regency period. Readers of Scott's work (Highland Fling, Pinnacle, 1995) might also enjoy books by Roberta Gellis. [Scott lives in Folsom, Cal.]
