Once upon a time there was me, Grace Burrowes, sitting in a bar with an acquiring editor, Deb Werksman, from Sourcebooks. This was our first encounter and so she asked me how many completed manuscripts I had.
“’Bout twenty,” was my answer—twenty-four being “’bout twenty” when you’ve had a nip of Dutch courage. Once we signed a deal, Madam Editor sifted and sorted through those diamonds in the rough muttering things about positioning and market strategy. She eventually emerged from her conjuring place to tell me that Westhaven, St. Just and Lord Valentine would be my initial trilogy.
Oh, yippee! I wrote a trilogy! And more good news, as The Heir hit the shelves, I was given an opportunity to write a Christmas book as well. We decided that the Christmas book, Lady Sophie’s Christmas Wish, could feature a Windham sister, and this turned out to be one of most enjoyable books I’ve written. Inspired by that experience, I went forth with stories for the remaining four Windham sisters.
I didn’t set out to write an-eight sibling series, but as much fun as I’ve had with it, I now wish Their Graces had managed a few more offspring. Of course, Percival and Esther probably have a tale to tell, and Uncle Tony and Aunt Gladys are blessed with four female offspring, and then there are the prequel books and the sequels and spin-offs. Suffice it to say that the Windhams and their related books will keep me busy for a long time to come!
The Duke's Obsession is a sub-series of the larger Windham series.
Percival Windham, the aging Duke of Moreland, has three passions: His undying devotion to his duchess, his parliamentary scheming, and his determination to see his sons wed and the ducal succession secured. To this end, he will lecture, scheme, and intrigue with every resource available to a powerful peer. Only his duchess can reason with His Grace when he becomes fixed on a goal—and even Her Grace has her hands full.
I am from a large family, and so I tend to think in sibling groups and familial relations. Not only does this give my stories plenty of secondary characters to consider for future books, but it also deepens motivations for my heroes and heroines, and makes them more human than they might be otherwise. Their Graces appear in all of the Windham sons’ sibling books, and as much as each man gets his happily ever after, the Duke and the Duchess get one too—did I mention that I’m a parent too?
Reading order:
- Book 1: The Heir
- Book 2: The Soldier
- Book 3: The Virtuoso
The Duke's Daughters is a sub-series of the larger Windham series.
Having successfully married off their sons, the Duke and Duchess of Moreland turn their matchmaking hopes to the five Windham daughters: Sophie, Maggie, Louisa, Evie and Jenny. Each young woman’s marital hopes are dimming, but in each case, brothers, sisters, and parents conspire to win the ladies their happily ever afters, despite all odds to the contrary.
We start the Duke’s Daughters off with Lady Sophie's Christmas Wish, then continue with Lady Maggie’s Secret Scandal. I am on good terms with the entire Burrowes family, though there’s just something special about having sisters to share life’s joys and setbacks with. Some of that sibling closeness comes out in this series, though those three fellows we met earlier also stick their handsome noses in from time to time.
