Beautiful historical romance novel. It had what I was hoping for. The plot and characters were really well done. Susan Rounds does a great job in telling a story and has a great writing style. I can't wait to read more from the author.

Welcome!

I’m so glad you stopped by. One of many things I find romantic is daydreaming about the past. Exploring fairytale castles when I was a child was such a magical time for me. What I didn’t know was that one day those experiences would lead me to become a writer. All I had to do was start writing.

Step into another world of sweeping landscapes and passionate characters. Escape to another place where true love fights for a second chance, even when all seems impossible. Imagine the hero as your hero. Be the heroine on this epic journey. Turn the pages and be swept away.

Stay a while. You’re always welcome here.

“It was there again, in that infinitesimal space between them, the subtle tremor of attraction, at once forbidden but about to collide.”
