When the devastating fire of 1666 sweeps through London, Amy believes she is rescued  from this fate, only to land in the arms of the dashing, unattainable Colin Chase, Earl of  Greystone.  In the aftermath of disaster, the rules of society are temporarily abandoned long  enough for a shopkeeper's daughter and a nobleman to discover their shared destiny . . . yet not  long enough to erase the past, or the broken promises only love can heal. . . .    \u003cp\u003e  Lauren Royal became  interested in the Restoration period at the age of 14, when she snuck a valuable first-edition copy  of \u003ci\u003eForever Amber\u003c\/i\u003e out of her great-uncle's library.  Luckily she survived the ensuing  warfare and, having decided she'd grow up to be a writer after winning the \"Why My Mother Is  The Greatest\" essay contest in the third grade, began amassing a collection of history books and  taking copious notes with the intention of someday writing novels of her own.  A fourteen-year  career as the CEO of her own jewelry store chain delayed those dreams, but she never forgot  them.\u003c\/p\u003e    \u003cp\u003eLauren is a Southern California native.  When she's not at home in front of her computer, you  can find her at a rock concert, at a hockey rink watching one of her husband's or two sons' games,  or at a Scottish Festival watching her daughter compete in Highland Dance.  A laptop has been  surgically attached to her body.  She was born without a housekeeping gene.  She likes to think  she's into scrapbooking, but she never finds time to actually put anything in her albums.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ashen Pawn Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50095069462768,"sku":"0196626504883","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/0196626504883","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
