Saving Grace by Julie Garwood

Saving Grace by Julie Garwood

In this splendid New York Times bestseller, Julie Garwood brilliantly crafts the majestic story of a young Englishwoman determined to fight for her freedom.a woman whose life would be transformed by the rare, unexpected gift of love.

When Lady Johanna learned that she was a widow, she vowed she would never marry again. Only sixteen, already she possessed a strength of will that impressed all who looked past her golden-haired beauty. Yet when King John demanded that she remarry--and selected a bridegroom for her--it seemed she must acquiesce, until her beloved foster brother suggested she wed his friend, the handsome Scottish warrior Gabriel MacBain.

At first Johanna was shy, but as Gabriel tenderly revealed the splendid pleasures they would share, she came to suspect that she was falling in love with her gruff new husband. And it was soon apparent to the entire Highlands clan that their brusque, gallant laird had surrendered his heart completely. But now a desperate royal intrigue threatened to tear her from his side--and to destroy the man whose love meant more to her than she had ever dreamed

Julie Garwood was born and raised in Kansas (Missouri), as part of a large Irish-American family (six brothers and sisters). Julie Garwood's literary career began when the last of her three children entered primary school. Since then, I've been able to devote myself to my passion for literature, writing a number of novels that have gone on to become true best sellers. With a unique sensibility for portraying strong and passionate characters, her work ranks among the genre's most essential authors, describing human relationships with unparalleled mastery. She currently resides in Leawood, Kansas, with her husband and children, and continues her fertile creative work.
