Goodreads asked Kathleen Buckley:

Where did you get the idea for your most recent book?

Kathleen Buckley Several years ago I had an idea for a young adult novel about two teenage girls, the illegitimate and the legitimate daughters of a very successful businessman. The first girl's father never knew about her. Eventually the girls' paths cross--and they are as alike as twins. Sort of a variation on THE PRINCE AND THE PAUPER. Unfortunately, I could not get it to work and abandoned the idea, until I decided that I wanted to try writing a Georgette Heyer-style historical romance. Then it all gelled, though in a much different form than my earlier idea.
