Sealed With a Kiss: Sophie Barnes and Giveaway

Born in Denmark, Sophie has spent her youth traveling with her parents to wonderful places all around the world. She’s lived in five different countries, on three different continents, and speaks Danish, English, French, Spanish and Romanian.

She has studied design in Paris and New York and has a bachelor’s degree from Parson’s School of design, but most impressive of all – she’s been married to the same man three times, in three different countries and in three different dresses.

While living in Africa, Sophie turned to her lifelong passion – writing.

When she’s not busy, dreaming up her next romance novel, Sophie enjoys spending time with her family, swimming, cooking, gardening, watching romantic comedies and, of course, reading. She currently lives on the East Coast.

Written by Michael Ashford, Earl of Trenton, to his wife roughly six months after their wedding.

Knowing how you must be fretting over my absence, I wish to reassure you that all is well and that my stay in Scotland is going smoothly. It is a beautiful country, though I know I would have enjoyed it more had you been here to experience it with me. I miss you, my love - my willful, adventurous hoyden - and am counting the days until my return.

Hopefully you're not finding your confinement too tedious. I know you probably long for a duel or a horseback race across the open countryside. Remember how you fought off French soldiers at Waterloo? By God you were magnificent! Nevertheless, I pray that you will refrain from such things until after our child is born. At the risk of you cursing me to high heaven, may I suggest watercolors or needlework in the meantime?

I hope you know that I am jesting, for I realize that you will refrain from doing anything reckless as long as you are expecting - never have I met anyone as protective as you when it comes to those who are dearest to you. How fortunate I am to be included in that regard, for you are without a doubt the most incredible woman I have ever known, and I am lucky indeed to have captured your heart.

Lady Alexandra is like no other woman he’s ever met, and suddenly the prospect of marriage seems far more appealing.
