Caroline Linden
Caroline Linden knew from an early age she was a reader, but not a writer. Despite an addiction to Trixie Belden and Nancy Drew, she studied physics and dreamed of being an astronaut. She earned a math degree from Harvard College and then wrote software for a financial services firm, all the while reading everything in sight, but especially romance. Only after she had children, and found herself with only picture books to read, did she begin to make up a story of her own. To her immense surprise, it turned out to be an entire novel--and it was much more fun than writing computer code. Seven years, eight books, two Red Sox championships, and on dog later, she has never been happier with her decision. She lives with her family in New England. The Love Letter:
Should you fear I will never know the depths of your love, set your mind at ease. There is no depth, no height, no distance to the love I have for you; it is boundless and inexhaustible, waxing and never waning. If your feelings were only half as deep I should count myself the most fortunate of men. To know your love equals my own brings me to my knees.
Your letter is tucked within my waistcoat pocket—not because my sense of you might dim, but because the sight of those words—I love you—in your own hand will never fail to bring light to my soul. I feel them branded upon my very heart.
Yours completely,
Edward

Check out Edward and Francesca's love story in:
ONE NIGHT IN LONDON
ONE NIGHT IN LONDON
A bargain that was all business . . . and pure passion. Neither wealth nor beauty will help Lady Francesca Gordon win custody of her young niece Georgina, saving the girl from a cruel stepmother; she needs London’s top solicitor for that. But when Edward de Lacey, son of the powerful Duke of Durham, hires away the one man who can do the job, Francesca decides Edward himself must champion her case . . . if only she can melt the dashing lord’s stony heart.
Edward has reason to be guarded, though. London’s tabloids have just exposed a secret that could ruin his entire family. When Francesca offers a unique chance to undo the damage, Edward is forced to agree to a partnership . . . and now, each moment together feeds the flames of his scandalous longing for the passionate widow. But when Georgina disappears, fate will test them both . . . and leave their love hanging in the balance.
And check out Caroline's upcoming release,
BLAME IT ON BATH
coming February 28th 2012
BLAME IT ON BATH
coming February 28th 2012
Gerard de Lacey is determined to find the man who tried to blackmail his late father, both to stop the blackmail and to discover—and dispose of—any evidence the villain has about his father’s clandestine first marriage. If that proof is made public, it could prove Gerard and his brothers illegitimate, and strip them of their inheritance. And just in case, Gerard intends to find himself a wealthy bride. One way or another, he’s not going to be left destitute. But he’s not expecting a rich widow to find him and ask him to marry her. Katherine Howe’s first marriage was one of dreary duty, arranged by her wealthy father to a penniless lord. Now that she’s being pressured to marry her late husband’s heir, she’s desperately in search of a better option. Gerard de Lacey, with his sinful good looks, charming manner, and looming scandal fits her needs perfectly. The fact that she’s nursed a secret affection for him for years only makes it better—and worse. Because Gerard will marry her, for her fortune—but will he love her for herself, as she loves him?

I Love this book so much. It is beautiful, taunt, startling and so restrained. Within a third of the book it was very clear a copy would one day be in the Keeper book case. Cannot wait for "Blame it on Bath"
