There is Ian MacGregor, from The Bridegroom Wore Plaid, who seek to marry for money. Set in the Scottish Highlands during Queen Victoria’s reign, the series revolved around the colourful lives of three Scottish earls of the Clan MacGregor. In between writing The Lonely Lords series, Grace has also successfully churned out the equally appealing historical romance series, The MacGregor Series. From her Windham series that saw an age where marrying is as important as giving honour to one’s family, to the Captive Hearts Series that all speak or and vibrate with that one known universal language which is love.

Of gallant dukes and dainty duchesses, Victorian-era courtships, intricate gallantry, and an entire family set about on complicated and intertwined stories about love for family, escaping dark pasts, and the undying thirst for passionate love and all that comes with it, all of Grace’s books are rich with the same. Stories Set Perfectly During an Era of Romance And bringing with her this everlasting love for romance novels, she finally decided to not just read them but start writing them. In between her somewhat strict profession, she was still able to continue her journey with romance novels as she finds herself getting more and more sucked in a world of discreet affairs, amorous rendezvous, and flights of tender love.Ī seemingly unending list of romance novels aside, Grace still managed to get a law degree, started her own law practice, and finish her master’s degree in Conflict Management. To add to that, being raised in rural Pennsylvania as the sixth of seven children and having her own chubby gelding named Buck, may have contributed to her later astounding success in writing her ever popular swashbuckling, romance works of fiction.Īlthough currently her name has become synonymous to love and romance, tender moments and passionate trysts, Grace started her career as a technical writer and editor. Her success as a romance author may have stemmed from her younger years spent reading one romance novel to another. It is some form of encouragement perhaps for any other aspiring novelist, to indulge oneself in the written language, like how she would spend her mornings going straight to her personal computer with her cup of tea to begin hours of attempting to focus on the one thing she is passionate about, which is of course writing. Grace has talked about her love for writing a lot, and has confessed at some time that before she has gotten the opportunity to be published, she has written at least two million words on just romantic fiction alone. Her beautifully written and award-winning Regency and Scottish Victorian romance novels burst with enough heart and heat, and all ending with the quintessential happily-every-afters.
