About the author
Lorraine Heath
90 books4,382 followersAlso writes Young Adult under Rachel Hawthorne, Jade Parker, and with her son as J.A. London.
Lorraine Heath has always had a soft spot for emotional love stories. No doubt because growing up, watching movies with her mom, she was taught that the best movies "won't half make you cry."
She is the daughter of a British beauty (her mom won second place in a beauty contest sponsored by Max Factor® during which she received a kiss from Caesar Romero, (the Joker on the original Batman TV series) and a Texan who was stationed at Bovingdon while serving in the air force. Lorraine was born in Watford, Hertfordshire, England, but soon after moved to Texas. Her "dual" nationality has given her a love for all things British and Texan, and she enjoys weaving both heritages through her stories.
When she received her BA degree in psychology from the University of Texas, she had no idea she had gained a foundation that would help her to create believable characters—characters that are often described as “real people.” She began her career writing training manuals and computer code for the IRS, but something was always missing. When she read a romance novel, she became not only hooked on the genre, but quickly realized what her writing lacked: rebels, scoundrels, and rogues. She's been writing about them ever since.
Her work has been recognized with numerous industry awards including RWA's RITA®. Her novels have appeared on bestseller lists, including USA TODAY and the New York Times.
The author of more than 60 novels, she writes historical and contemporary romance for adults and historical romance for teen readers.
Under the names Rachel Hawthorne and Jade Parker, she writes popular contemporary, historical, and paranormal romance for teens readers. She also writes young adult novels with her son under the name J. A. London.

Family saga at its very best.
I've always avoided reading triangle love stories. But Lorraine Heath has weave words to create fantastic love stories comprising a triumvirate of wicked brothers from the nobility. Their mother, a Duchess is a formidable character.
I can't recommend this enough. Ms Heath has made me hate and then love the brothers
I hope you'll buy and enjoy Westcliffe & Claire; Stephen & Mercy; Ainsley & Jayne. Not to forget the scandalous Duchess of Ainsley.
Five stars.

Excellent trilogy
Enjoyed reading the books in order. While each stands independently, the layering allows for a sense of knowing the family.
