Katharine Ashe is the award-winning author of historical romances that reviewers call "intensely lush" and "sensationally intelligent," including How to Be a Proper Lady , an Amazon Editors' Choice for one of the Ten Best Books of the Year, and How to Marry a Highlander , a 2014 RITA� Award finalist. She lives in the wonderfully warm southeast with her beloved husband, son, dog, and a garden she likes to call romantic rather than unkempt. A professor of History, she writes romance because she thinks modern readers deserve grand adventures and breathtaking sensuality, too.
