About the author

Nancy Jane LeCompte was born in 20 August 1948 in Eaton, Ohio, USA. She discovered Georgette Heyer in junior high school and was entranced by the glittering world and witty language of Regency England. That delight was part of what led her to study English literature and travel widely in Britain and Europe. She has lived in New York, Boston and LA, her writing life punctuated by breaks where the fates intervened and swept her off in different directions. Today, she lives in Cambridge, Massachusetts.

Jane has written historical and contemporary romances as Jane Ashford and Jane LeCompte. Her books have been published in England, Spain, France, Italy, Sweden, Denmark, Russia, and Latvia, as well as the U.S. She is a two-time nominee for a Career Achievement Award by Romantic Times Magazine. Away from romance writing for several years, she recently completed a new historical.

Reviews

[Jann]

This book has been sitting on my shelf for over 20 years and I can't imagine now why I didn't read it earlier. In any event, as I read the opening pages I felt that the characters of Anne and Ellen were well introduced and as the story progresses, each of them are fleshed out fully. The moods and reactions of each to the other were realistic. As the book ended I felt satisfied, that the events were complete.
