My Sweet Folly by Laura Kinsale

My dear girl I could never fall in love by letter. Though I have no doubt you are a notorious breaker of hearts, not to mention a princess in disguise, and if I were a few miles closer to Toot-above-the-Batch I would be in great danger. From the safe distance of another continent, I will admit to a modest desire to see how your pearl becomes you, even to know the color of your hair and eyes, but this is mere curiosity, I assure you. Your knight, RobertThrough their innocent correspondence, a lonely young wife grows to love an imaginary man thousands of miles away. But when Folie finally meets him in truth, reality is turned upside down. She cannot find her own cherished Robert in the frightening stranger who claims her love.My Sweet Follywas a finalist from the Romance Writers of America for both Favorite Book of the Year and Best Long Historical Novel.

Laura Kinsale is a multiple winner and nominee for the Romance Writers of America's Best Novel of the Year award. After six years as a geologist, she became a romance writer, which entailed getting out of bed in the middle of the night and driving hundreds of miles alone across west Texas to sit at drilling rigs, don a hard hat, and try to boss around oil-covered males substantially larger than herself. She decided that this was pushing her luck. So she gave it all up to sit in a chair for lengthy periods of time, staring into space, trying to figure out What-Happens-Next. She and her husband, David, split their time between Santa Fe, New Mexico, and Austin, Texas.
