She earned a degree in mathematics from Harvard University and worked as a programmer in the financial services industry before realizing writing fiction is much more exciting than writing code.

She lives in New England.

Get A Study in Scandal FREE!

From all retailers, download A Study in Scandal (part of my Scandalous series) absolutely free! It's got a brand new epilogue, and an extended preview of my next book When the Marquess Was Mine because the heroes of these two books are brothers.

Don't wait too long, though--this will only be free for a limited time.

Happy reading!

XO

Quotes by Caroline Linden (?)

“Would you like me to court you?” the earl finally asked.
YES. She smoothed her hands over her skirts to keep from confessing it aloud. “I would like to know if you are,” she replied. “Or what your intentions are, if you aren’t.”
“My intentions . . .” His slow smile acted like a torch held to her skin. She felt prickly with heat and yet transfixed by the glowing allure of it. “I intend to have you, Maggie, in every way a man can have a woman. I want your hand in mine while we dance. I want you laughing beside me in the theater. I want you lying naked in my arms at night. And I want you standing beside me in church, saying ‘I will.’ ”
― Caroline Linden

“Men can bed any woman,” she said stiffly. “It means nothing.”
He paused. “Nothing,” he repeated thoughtfully. “It rarely means nothing. And sometimes, in very particular circumstances, it means a great deal.”
― Caroline Linden, Blame It on Bath

“To the ends of the earth, madam, to say nothing of back and forth in this garden.”
