Beschreibung

In the glittering world of 19th century London, Lady Kate's secret could be her downfall. Smuggling French fashion designs is one thing, but when Lady Kate accidentally acquires Napoleon's book of codes, she becomes entangled in a web of danger, desire, and deception. As break-ins and attempts on her life begin, the gallant Ambrose St. Claire storms onto the scene--a naval officer assigned by the Home Office to retrieve the codes and monitor Kate's every move. But Ambrose finds himself irresistibly drawn to the audacious lady. As they circle each other in a thrilling dance of attraction and suspicion, neither can deny the electrifying spark between them. As threats to Kate escalate to terrifying heights, she must navigate a treacherous landscape of fashion rivals, family schemes, and lethal secrets. In a heart-stopping revelation, Kate realizes that the danger might be closer to home than she ever imagined. Can she trust Ambrose? The Meadows launches Cynthia Keyes' 19th Century Romance series with a bang. Set in Regency England during the Napoleonic Wars, this tale of love and intrigue will sweep you off your feet.

I wish I could say that I wanted to be a writer my whole life, that it was my dream. But it wasn't. I fell into it on a whim and discovered to my surprise that I enjoyed it. What I always have been is a reader. I will read anything. During the times I could not afford books, I read whatever sat on the shelves of the secondhand store. Sometimes it was History, sometimes Romance, and sometimes it was how to make macrame hangers. But I am getting ahead of myself. I grew up in Brightsand Saskatchewan, in an immigrant family with six siblings. We were a hard-working troop, scraping a living out of a rocky mixed farm. I look back on those busy years fondly. I have plenty of stories about walking through miles of snow to school, uphill both ways! I went to the University of Saskatchewan, studying History and English, which I converted into a career in teaching. I love my job. I teach a wild crew of junior high students. There is never a dull moment. It has been a passion of mine which has truly made life worth living. Much of my time is committed to coaching. I can be found most mornings in the gym by six thirty, spending time with my teams. We have had some memorable seasons, winning basketball districts against all odds. I was lucky enough to marry the love of my life. My husband and I share another passion, gardening. He does the vegetables and I do the flowers. Together we spend many peaceful evenings, enjoying the beauty and bounty we have created. I squeeze my writing into the bits and pieces of the day that remain. In many ways it is my personal time. I have been surprised by the writing process. Though I start with a plan, my characters always surprise me with their antics. I look forward to every new book, with its host of characters leading me into places unknown.
