H.:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - If we have not met yet, I'm delighted to meet you! Here's a little bit about me...I have been writing romance novels for almost half my life, well at least for the last 30 years. I'm a diehard romantic and have to confess the broad shoulders and wicked glint in the brilliant green eyes of a stranger had my breath snagging in my breast, my heart beating madly, and my future flashing before my eyes. At the age of seventeen, I'd met the man I knew I was going to spend the rest of my life with.I write Historical \u0026amp; Contemporary Romance featuring characters that I know so well: hardheaded heroes and feisty heroines! They rarely listen to me and in fact, I think they enjoy messing with my plans for them. Over the years I have learned to listen to them! I have always used family names in my books and love adding bits and pieces of my ancestors and ancestry in them, too!","brand":"Dragonblade Publishing, Inc.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51635412926738,"sku":"9781969349119","price":12.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0831\/4771\/8930\/files\/img_3e488080-43ec-450c-b99b-656f51e2fd68.jpg?v=1759234005","url":"https:\/\/surprise-castle.myshopify.com\/products\/the-dukes-sharpshooter-a-regency-historical-romance-9781969349119","provider":"Surprise Castle","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
