Author’s Note

There is something about a hero who feels too damaged to be loved that always tugs at my heart. Such a hero needs a heroine who sees below the surface to the man underneath. Is that not what we all want? To be loved for the person we are at our very core?

I hope you enjoy The Unlacing of Miss Leigh, my unabashed homage to Phantom of the Opera and all Beauty and the Beast stories. I’ve included a peek at characters who will appear in my next to-be-titled, to-be-scheduled book and a peek at my heroine in the Mills & Boon July 2009 Regency Summer Scandals anthology. You’ll meet Justine from Justine and the Noble Viscount at a pivotal moment in her life.
