Loretta Chase has worked in academia, retail, and the visual arts, as well as on the streets—as a parking meter attendant—and in video, as a screenwriter. She might have pursued a career fraught with obstacles if her husband hadn't encouraged her to write fiction.

 

Her bestselling historical novels, set in the Regency and Romantic eras of the early 19th century, have won numerous awards, and O chose her legendary novel LORD OF SCOUNDRELS! The Oprah Magazine as one of the “best novels to read in your lifetime.”
