Following her sensational debut novel, Swept Away by a Kiss, author Katharine Ashe was named one of the New Stars of Historical Romance by the American Library Association publication Booklist. With each new book she has proven them rightand never more so than with her novel How to be a Proper Lady. Continuing her phenomenal Falcon Club series, Ashe enchants with this tale of a woman kidnapped as a child by pirates and returned years later to her English family. She must now learn how to be a cultured lady...and to navigate the treacherous waters of love with the notorious sea captain who brought her, kicking and screaming, back to society. This is witty, emotionally rich, and wonderfully imaginative storytelling that readers of Lisa Kleypas, Eloisa James, and Johanna Lindsey will absolutely adore.

I turned page after page and delighted in every word read...Jinan and Viola are some of the first characters in a long time that really touched my heart, and they are what make HOW TO BE A PROPER LADY an unforgettable read." -- Romance Junkies "How to Be a Proper Lady has everything fans of historical romance could want in a book." -- Joyfully Reviewed "How to Be a Proper Lady is...every bit as delicious as it promised." -- The Librarian Next Door "Katharine Ashe continues to intrigue readers with her Falcon Club series by creating extraordinary characters with histories that set them apart from run-of-the-mill heroes and heroines and endowing these characters with intelligence, courage, and humor." -- Just Janga
Katharine lives in the wonderfully warm Southeast with her beloved husband, son, dog, and a garden she likes to call romantic rather than unkempt. A professor of European history, she has made her home in California, Italy, France, and the northern US.
