Candace McCarthy loved to read romances from the first moment she picked one up over twenty-four years ago. She began to write one after reading a story that made her laugh. Her enjoyment prompted her to put pen to paper. She thought, "Wouldn't it be great if I could bring the same pleasure to other readers?" Sound corny? Maybe, but it's true. And she's been writing them ever since.
Candace has over 20 books to her credit—fifteen novels and three novellas. Among her titles are Irish Rogue, Irish Lace, Fireheart, and Wild Innocence, which are just a few of the titles published by Zebra Books. She has been listed among the Favorite Top Ten List for Affair de Coeur Magazine, and her book, White Bear's Woman, a Zebra Lovegram, won the National Readers' Choice Award for the Best Long Historical Romance of 1998.
At home, she lives with her husband and her dog Jameson, a cute mixed breed.. She has a grown son, who recently married. She enjoys arts and crafts, music, gardening, and her Teddy Bear collection. And she loves to hear from her readers.
it is an enjoyable romance set in early 1800,s america, about a man searching for his long lost sister and finds her while working for a woman he falls in love with. I think most women who enjoy reading romance would like it
This book was a very enjoyable read. One I would love to read again. Women marries to protect her child then finds love after she becomes a widow. She learns love from affection/companionship and then love from passion/true love. Beautiful story. Does have some sexual content.
