I was tagged by the fabulous authors Gillian Bagwell, Anne Barnhill, and Kate Quinn for a game of 7 and 7. In this game, I post 7 lines from page 7 of my latest Regency romp SEDUCING THE HIGHLANDER (working title) coming out sometime in 2015.

“I am not accustomed to dancing with gentlemen I do not know.”
“No one knows anyone at these things. Except for the bloody English, who have known each other since birth.”
“As I have told your sister, Mr. Waters, I am English.”
 “You are an angel from heaven. I don’t know why you’ve touched ground here tonight, but I am grateful to God you have.”
