If you missed Devil's Embrace the first time around, do read it now. But regardless of what happens, this is a love that is of the forever sort, something that is true and very real, and will stay close to your heart, I hope, for a very long time. There is pain, doubt, captivation, and escape. This is an unusual love story, to say the least, that will make you weep and laugh and root for what you know is best for both of them. But the day before her wedding, Anthony Welles kidnaps her aboard his yacht and sails away with her to Genoa, Italy his stated intention to make her his wife. Now he's home and they're going to be married. Cassie has known the Earl of Clare all her life, but she's in love with a soldier she's been secretly writing to since she was fifteen. I've updated it stylistically, edited it, trimmed it just a bit, and the art department designed a splendid new cover that magically includes some of the original art work.Ĭassie Brougham and Anthony Welles, Earl of Clare, are my favorite characters of all time. Welcome to my very first historical romance, Devil's Embrace, titled by my husband, and first published in 1982.
