  LAURA LEE GUHRKE spent seven years in advertising, had a successful catering
  business, and managed a construction company before she decided writing novels
  was more fun. The New York Times bestselling author of more than sixteen
  historical romances, Laura has received many literary awards, including
  romance fiction’s highest honor, the RITA® Award, and her books routinely
  appear on the USA Today bestseller list. When she’s not tapping away at her
  keyboard, Laura spends her time relearning how to ski, mastering the wakeboard
  grab, and trying to actually hit a golf ball, much to the amusement of her
  friends. She loves hearing from readers, and you may write to her by visiting
  her website, www.lauraleeguhrke.com.
