Autorenporträt:
Julie Cohen studierte Englisch an der Brown University in Rhode Island, USA. 1992 zog sie für ein Literatur-Aufbaustudium nach England und begann dort als Lehrerin zu arbeiten. Mittlerweile leitet sie Schreib-Workshops in England und den USA und widmet sich ansonsten voll und ganz dem Schreiben. Die Autorin lebt mit ihrem Mann und ihrem kleinen Sohn in Berkshire.
Alice Woodstock has been running away. Well, not literally. She spends most of her time glued to her desk, writing about grommets and model aeroplanes. No, Alice is avoiding the real world because there's something - someone - in her past that she's desperate to forget. So when she's commissioned to write about life in stately home Eversley Hall, she jumps at the chance to escape into Regency England, even if it does mean swapping her comfy T-shirt for an itchy corset. Perhaps she'll meet her own Mr Darcy ... But when her past resurfaces in the shape of Leo Allingham, Alice is brought down to earth with a bump. Reckless, unpredictable Leo reminds Alice of the painful price of following her heart. And the new Alice doesn't live dangerously. Or does she?
