Susan Eloise Spaeth was born on 11 December 1946 in Cuthbert, Georgia, USA. She was the eldest daughter of Maggie Eloise Cliatt, a nurse and also journalist, and William Olin Spaeth, a college professor. Her mother was part of the women's liberation movement many years before it became fashionable. Her best friends are her mother and her sister, Dannis Spaeth (Cole), who now has two daughters, Amanda Belle Hofstetter and Maggie and lives in Utah. Susan grew up reading Zane Grey and fell in love with cowboys. Susan is a former newspaper reporter, with sixteen years experience on both daily and weekly newspapers. Since 1972, she has been married to James Kyle and have since settled down in Cornelia, Georgia, where she started to write romance novels. Susan and her husband have one son, Blayne Edward, born in 1980.
She began selling romances in 1979 as Diana Palmer. She also used the pseudonyms Diana Blayne and Katy Currie, and her married name: Susan Kyle. Now, she has over 40 million copies of her books in print, which have been translated and published around the world. She is listed in numerous publications, including Contemporary Authors by Gale Research, Inc., Twentieth Century Romance and Historical Writers by St. James Press, The Writers Directory by St. James Press, the International Who's Who of Authors and Writers by Meirose Press, Ltd., and Love's Leading Ladies by Kathryn Falk. Her awards include seven Waldenbooks national sales awards, four B. Dalton national sales awards, two Bookrak national sales awards, a Lifetime Achievement Award for series storytelling from Romantic Times, several Affaire de Coeur awards, and two regional RWA awards.
Inspired by her husband, who quit a blue-collar manufacturing job to return to school and get his diploma in computer programming, Susan herself went back to college as a day student at the age of 45. In 1995, she graduated summa cum laude from Piedmont College, Demorest, GA, with a major in history and a double minor in archaeology and Spanish. She was named to two honor societies (the Torch Club and Alpha Chi), and was named to the National Dean's List. In addition to her writing projects, she is currently working on her master's degree in history at California State University. She hopes to specialize in Native American studies. She is a member of the Native American Rights Fund, the American Museum of Natural History, the National Cattlemen's Association, the Archaeological Institute of Amenca, the Planetary Society, The Georgia Conservancy, the Georgia Sheriff's Association, and numerous conservation and charitable organizations. Her hobbies include gardening, archaeology, anthropology, iguanas, astronomy and music.
In 1998, her husband retired from his own computer business and now pursues skeet shooting medals in local, state, national and international competition. They love riding around and looking at the countryside, watching sci-fi on TV and at the movies, just talking and eating out.

Antes de qualquer coisa devo dizer que o tempo e o dinheiro que gastei para conseguir adquirir este livro, deveria fazer deste romance, o melhor de Diana Palmer. Mas as coisas, não são bem assim.
Vamos por parte, como diria Jack.
Faz no mínimo 3 anos que procurava este livro, e como ele saiu em 2005, só poderia encontrá-lo em lojas de livros usados, procurei durante esse tempo, em todos os sebos que existiam na minha cidade, e nada de encontrá-lo.
Sempre procurando em sites de livros usados e sebos, e nada, até que 4 meses atrás, achei, mas pra minha sorte, a bendita loja não aceitou meu cartão de credito e muito menos boleto. Fiquei mal, comecei acreditar em conspiração, maluquice pura.
Meses depois, encontrei num site de arremate, dei o meu lance dias antes do prazo final, durante toda a semana, verificava se alguém dava um lance maior que o meu, estava contente, ninguém havia me superado. Mas no dia que imaginava sair à vencedora, algum idiota, maldito, superou o meu LANCE, no último segundo.
Naquele momento fiquei arrasada, pensava que nunca mais iria conseguir.
Dias depois, encontrei o mesmo livro sendo colocado para ser disputado outra vez, e o prazo acabaria em 20 minutos. Pulei de alegria e no mesmo momento dei meu primeiro lance, e fiquei disputando o livro, dando um lance atrás do outro, pois o dono ou outra pessoa, não sei ao certo, parecia querer triplicar o valor do livro. Mas a maluca aqui, não deixou a oportunidade passar, faltando 1 segundo dei o maior lance e arrematei...
Senti-me, a pessoa mais sortuda do mundo, sem nenhum centavo, mas tava tão feliz...
Por isso tudo e muito mais, este livro tem um valor sentimental e um sabor de vitória pra mim, tenho a sensação de superação, como se fosse uma causa perdida que consegui fazer ressurgir das cinzas.
Tô pirando mesmo... Kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk....
Bom, a estória é ótima e mesmo que pareça ser mais um livro da Diana Palmer. Pra mim não é assim, tem destaque na minha prateleira e tenho por ele muito carinho.
Pode acreditar, recomendo e muito: O Senhor da Paixão.
ADORO!!!!!!!!
RECOMENDADÍSSIMO!!!!
