How to Treat a Lady

Description

To save her family from ruin, Harriet Ward had invented a fake fiance, a sea captain, and when a mysterious stranger, left for dead after an attack by footpads, arrives, with no apparent memory of his past, she persuades him that he is really her long-lost betrothed. Original.

Karen Hawkins was raised in Tennessee, a member of a huge extended family that included her brother and sister, an adopted sister, numerous foster siblings and various exchange students. In order to escape the chaos (and whilst hiding when it was her turn to do the dishes), she would huddle under the comforter on her bed with a flashlight and a book, a habit she still embraces to this day.
