For the First Time
by Kathryn Smith
No love blazes hotter than the one that burns For the First Time Devlin Ryland has returned to London in triumph, acclaimed throughout the city for his courage at Waterloo and selfless rescue of a fellow soldier. But Devlin wants no part of his newfound glory -- until he escapes to the country estate of a friend and encounters the one woman for whom he would gladly play the hero: the statuesque beauty Lady Blythe Christian. Unfortunately, the lady who so stirs his passions wants nothing at all to do with England's heralded champion. The man Devlin saved was Blythe's betrothed...who then heartlessly married another. Now the pain only intensifies when Devlin is near -- though, truth be told, she is not unmoved by the strength of his character and his considerable charms. But with heartbreak so fresh in her memory, how can noble Devlin convince Blythe to trust again... because only then can he show her what it is to be loved for the first time.

Kathryn Smith's Bio
During mandatory reading time in the Nova Scotia school system, Kathryn Smith was the only kid in her 9th grade class allowed to write rather than read. When classmates began passing around the pages of her stories, Kathryn decided fiction writing was what she wanted to do with her life. 12 years (and numerous false starts) later, she quit her job in retail and gave her dream a shot. Her first attempt at a romance resulted in four hundred pages of cliches and bad melodrama. Thankfully it was rejected by any and all who saw it. Her second attempt, ELUSIVE PASSION was published by Avon in April 2001. Kathryn hasn't stopped writing since. Currently she lives in Ottawa, Ontario with her wonderful husband and a cat who is slightly less than wonderful. Kathryn is working on her next Avon.
