Sophie Jordan grew up on a pecan farm in the Texas hill country, where she wove fantasies of dragons, warriors, and princesses. A former high school English teacher, she's also the New York Times bestselling author of Avon historical romances and the Firelight series. She now lives in Houston with her family. When she's not writing, she spends her time overloading on caffeine (lattes and Diet cherry Coke preferred), talking plotlines with anyone who will listen (including her kids), and cramming her DVR with true-crime and reality-TV shows.
An intrepid heroine with a fierce protective streak and the well-to-do bastard son of a duke clash from their first meeting and keep the sparks flying. This sizzling holiday-tinged romance launches a new series with links to Jordan's popular `Debutante Files' books. -- Library Journal The comparison with the Sandra Bullock movie While You Were Sleeping is inevitable. James has taken the classic and put her own spin on the charming story....the sweetness and enchantment of the story remains with its snappy dialogue and set of engaging characters. -- RT Book Reviews (4 1/2 stars) The novel hews very closely to the plot of its namesake film... but Jordan has added both disdain and heat to the familiar story. The complex characterization and eccentricities of Struan's relatives refreshingly diverge from typical portrayals of Regency gentry. -- Publishers Weekly
