Dreams of Lilacs
by Lynn Kurland

Isabelle de Piaget is determined to elude her overprotective family by means of a hasty escape to France. But instead of making a surprise visit to her brother there, she winds up shipwrecked on the French coast with no memory of who she is or how she came to awaken in the dark and forbidding castle of an equally brooding lord.

Gervase de Seger rescues—very reluctantly—the bedraggled urchin he finds on the road and puts her to work where he can ignore her. Unfortunately, he soon realizes that her brother is an intimidating lord who is going to be absolutely furious when he learns that his beloved sister has been laboring as a scullery maid. Yet Isabelle may be the one who holds the key to solving Gervase’s most pressing problem: that someone has been trying to finish the task of separating him from his title and his lands.

Finding the truth propels Gervase and Isabelle from the buried secrets of half-ruined keeps to the glittering French court, and to the realization that love can blossom in the most perilous circumstances—and in the most unexpected places of the heart . . .

Lynn Kurland's Bio

Lynn Kurland is the national bestselling author of seven novels and four novellas. A full-time writer, she lives in the Pacific Northwest with her family. People often ask me why I choose to write romance. As I look back over my own tastes in reading, I've come to realize that no matter what I read while growing up, there was never enough love story in it for me! I've read Tolkien's Lord of the Rings trilogy 14 times and every single time I find myself looking for more pages to find out exactly what happened to Aragorn and Arwen. I wanted details! So after years of reading fantasy, science fiction and mystery, I picked up my first romance in college. I was hooked. Finally, a story where the love story had center stage! I made my own tentative attempts and after a few creations fit only for the recycle bin, my first ghost story, Stardust of Yesterday, came to be. While I have a captive audience, let me thank those of you who have been so supportive of my work. It's because of you, your letters and emails, and your willingness to shell out your hard-earned money for my books that I'm able to do something I love to do-and do it the way I want to. My publisher has given me enormous freedom in what and how I write, but that has only come because kind readers such as you who have continued to support my work. I love to write. I love everything about it. (Well, all right, I'm not really wild about reviews now and then, but if you can't take the heat . . .) I love having the chance to bring some of my favorite characters to life.
