\nRoss Carlisle, Earl of Spalding, has dedicated his life to serving his country. When he discovers secrets that could endanger England, he\u2019s forced into an impossible situation\u2014commit treason and race to London to clear his name before the crown turns against him. He\u2019s prepared to abandon everything he possesses in order to protect England, including his life\u2026until he crosses paths with a woman who\u2019s keeping her own secrets.<\/p>\n
Ten years ago, Grace Alden fled the only life she\u2019d ever known in order to protect her son, only to come face-to-face with that past when Ross collapses on her doorstep. They strike a deal\u2014she\u2019ll help him travel to London if he helps her reclaim her son\u2019s inheritance. But as old deceptions turn into new desires, will they be willing to sacrifice everything they hold dear in order to protect the people they love?<\/p>\n
Q&A with Anna Harrington <\/strong><\/p>\n(HOW THE EARL ENTICES)<\/strong><\/p>\n\u00a0<\/strong>\u25e6How would you describe your books to new readers?<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\nI write Regency era romances with a progressive and modern feel to them. My characters talk in rhythms of modern American English, which I think makes the books more enjoyable for readers who are used to that same internal voice in their heads when they read, and the conflicts they face are those which people might encounter during any time period\u2014guilt over a parent\u2019s death, fear of falling in love, a willingness to do anything to protect a child. My heroes are alpha but wounded, and my heroines are strong, independent, and outgoing women who all have the Regency era equivalent to careers and interests outside of society events and capturing a husband. But while my books are progressive, they are still firmly grounded in history, with all the wonderful facets of the era that make historicals so much fun to write and read.<\/p>\n
\u25e6Who are some of your favorite Go-To authors?<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\nAnna Bradley, Kelly Bowen, Lisa Kleypas, Suzanne Enoch\u2026too many to list! But I also love discovering new authors.<\/p>\n
\u25e6Pantser or Plotter?<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\nDefinitely more plotter than pantser! I always start with a 20 page outline of the plot so that I don\u2019t write myself into a corner with the conflict, run out of conflict after 50 pages, or write 95K words, only to be nowhere near the resolution. But each scene is pantsed, which keeps that feeling of spontaneity. Sometimes the characters will decide to take the plot into a completely new direction. When that happens, I let them, but then I also go back and update my long outline so that at least one of us knows where the story is headed! LOL!<\/p>\n
\u25e6What are some must-have foods or drinks you need on hand when you are finishing up your books?<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\nCoffee!! My books are written by Starbucks and Folgers. ☺ But once I get near the end, I often switch to a glass of wine. Sipping wine from a glass forces me to slow down and not rush the last scene. It also makes for a pleasant way to celebrate when the first draft is finally done.<\/p>\n
\u25e6What are you working on next?<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\nI\u2019m currently finishing edits for book 5 in the Capturing the Carlisles series, WHAT A LORD WANTS. Evelyn Winslow finally gets her own romance\u2014and her marquess. The book is about the double life being led by Dominick Mercer, Marquess of Ellsworth, who is England\u2019s most respected peer by day and notorious Italian painter Domenico Vincenzo by night. When Evelyn accidentally stumbles into his studio and is mistaken for his new model, the adventure is simply too great for her to deny herself. But soon she\u2019s discovered, and the only man who can save her reputation is the same one who ruined it. Its release is scheduled for March.<\/p>\n
