Praise for Carole Mortimer:
‘Mortimer understands the time and place so well that she paints a colourful and accurate portrait of the era.’
—RT Book Reviews on SOME LIKE IT WICKED
‘This book would be a typical romance, but by adding the strong themes of family and loyalty she shifts her novel into something with an underlying power that touches the heart.’
—RT Book Reviews on THE LADY FORFEITS
‘This longtime plot theme works nicely for Mortimer, who infuses her tale with an independent-minded heroine, a dangerously sexy hero and a bit of danger and sexual tension that make for a quick and enjoyable read.’
—RT Book Reviews on THE LADY GAMBLES
‘Mortimer completes The Copeland Sisters trilogy, about three women who flaunt society and their guardian to find their own futures, with a charming, fast and sweetly sensual romance.’ —RT Book Reviews on THE LADY CONFESSES
CAROLE MORTIMER was born in England, the youngest of three children. She began writing in 1978, and has now written over one hundred and fifty books for Harlequin Mills & Boon®.
