Lady Starling's Stockings (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780991658190)

Cerise DeLand (who also writes under her real name Jo-Ann Power) loves to write about dashing heroes and the sassy women they adore. Whether she's penning historical romances or contemporaries, she's praised for her poetic elegance and accuracy of detail. An award-winning author of more than 50 novels, she's been published since 1991 by Pocket Books, St. Martin's Press, Kensington and independent presses. Her books have been monthly selections of the Doubleday Book Club and the Mystery Guild. Plus she's won rave reviews from Romantic Times, Affair de Coeur, Publisher's Weekly and more. To research, she's dived into the oldest texts and dustiest library shelves. She's also traveled abroad, trusty notebook and pen in hand, to visit the chateaux and country homes she loves to people with her own imaginary characters. And at home every day? She loves to cook, hates to dust, goes swimming at least once a week and tries (desperately) to grow vegetables in her backyard in south Texas!
