A PROUD BEAUTY
Society decrees that Lady Ophelia Brinsby, a duke's daughter, must marry a man of rank. But sharp-witted Ophelia finds her eligible suitors duller than yesterday's gossip. To relieve her boredom, Ophelia escapes her grand house daily for secret visits with her lively artistic friends. When her father hires a new groom to insure the strict propriety of her morning rides, Ophelia must win a battle of wits with the one bold and charming man who stirs her--mind, body, and heart.
A HUMBLE PRINCE
Duty requires Prince Alexander to sacrifice every comfort and every ordinary desire for his country's freedom. He sells his manor house, his fine horses, and even his coats and takes a position as a lowly groom in a duke's London stable. However, when he meets the hard headed Lady Opheila, whose dark eyes and indomitable spirit stir his lonely soul, he discovers that a man's country expects too much when it asks him to sacrifice love.

Kate Moore is a former English teacher and three-time RITA finalist, Golden Heart, and Book Buyers Best Award winner. She writes Austen-inspired fiction set in 19th Century England or contemporary California. Her heroes are men of courage, competence, and unmistakable virility, with determination so strong it keeps their sensuality in check until they meet the right woman. Her heroines take on the world with practical good sense and kindness to bring those heroes into a circle of love and family. Sometimes there's even a dog. Kate lives north of San Francisco with her husband, miles of bookshelves, and a pack-n-play for visiting grandchildren.
Forced to hide his identity and become a lowly groom in the stables of Lady Ophelia Brinsby, Prince Alexander of Trevigna discovers there is more to the lady than meets the eye and ends up in love with a woman as rebellious and determined as himself. An intricate, complex plot, believable, appealing characters, and impeccable research make this Regency-set historical a bit out of the ordinary and well worth reading. Moore (Winterburn's Rose, Avon, 1996) lives in Mill Valley, Cal.
