I really wanted to give you something between the hero and heroine, but since my publisher had put out the first two chapters elsewhere, I wanted to give you the heroes thoughts about the first time he saw the heroine.

You have absolutely made my evening! I...Jeanne,<br /><br />You have absolutely made my evening! I'm so glad that you've read them all! Wow. :)<br /><br />Which characters have taken me in different directions? All of them in some way or another. :) <br /><br />I start with an idea that I think I have for a character (or I have the way I wrote them as a secondary character in a different book) and it always seems that they surprise me at some point or another. For instance I had no idea that the hero of SCANDAL IN THE NIGHT, Thomas Jellicoe, was going to turn out to be so stubbornly determined, after having written him in A BREATH OF SCANDAL. Nor did I think the heroine, Catriona, would turn out to be similarly determined and stubborn. I always think that I am going to write opposites—two sides of one coin, if you will—but it never exactly works out that way. :)<br /><br />I hope you like Thomas and Catriona, and I wish you the best of luck in the drawing. I'm so glad you stopped by the chat this evening!

My publisher Macmillan runs the Heroes & Heartbreakers site, and they had Ch 1 & Ch 2, so I wanted to give y'all an exclusive. It was really tricky trying to move between the action taking place in England, and the action that had taken place earlier in time in India, and I hope I've carried it off for you.<br /><br />So here's wishing you best of luck in the drawing, and hoping you have lots of uninterrupted reading time this summer. All the best.

And second...First, I just love your name. Perfect.<br /><br />And second, I'm so glad you like the sound of this book. I always start out because there seems to be a story I have stuck in my brain, but then in the process of writing, it becomes a story I'm going to share with other people. And that's always a little bit scary—I never really know if I've successfully translated what's in my head to what has gone on the page. :)<br /><br />Good luck in the drawing, and thanks so much for stopping by to chat.

I really like it when the hero and heroine have some kind of history together. Actually, I want to write that into every story, but I have to change it up each time to keep the stories fresh. :)<br /><br />And this is my first hero who is an out and out spy, and not at all in the Royal Navy, so that was a point of departure for me. Hope you like it!<br /><br />Wishing you best of luck in the drawing, and hoping you get hours of reading time this summer.

I had written a little bit about a spy, and then combined it with a story about a governess I had also had kicking around. The two worked really well together, so I just kept writing.<br /><br />Hope you enjoy reading it. Thanks so much for stopping by to chat, and wishing you good luck in the drawing.
