The Runaway Heart

AUTHOR’S NOTE

AUTHOR’S NOTEAs my readers know, my books are usually set in the Regency period and in the nineteenth century, when my heroes are all dashing, fearless and incredibly handsome.

And my heroines are all beautiful, intelligent and resourceful as well as pure and untouched until, of course, they are married to the hero in the last chapter.

This exciting story I have exceptionally placed in the 1950s when I believe that it was still possible for my heroes and heroines to be as romantic and chivalrous as their forbears.

I wrote “The Runaway Heart” after my first visit to India when I saw with my son the glorious Taj Mahal and wondered at the sublime love that inspired such a beautiful memorial.
