Captured Love
By JaneLark
Rupert Stanforth, Earl of Morton, is missing his cousin’s company. He
has too many burdens weighing down his shoulders, including the task of finding
his sister, Rowena, a husband.
Meredith Divine has one friend in all the world, Lady Rowena Stanforth.
She clings to their friendship as though it is a rope, when she is drowning in
a lake of social isolation. Even Rowena’s elder brother cannot stand Meredith.
Everyone judges her poorly, simply because her father is in trade. But despite
Lord Morton’s constant rejection, Meredith’s heart still favors Rowena’s proud,
judgmental brother.
Lord Morton would break the friendship his sister has with Miss Divine
if he could, but the more he disparages Miss Divine, the more Rowena favors the
girl. He’s ceased his complaints, in the hope the friendship would wither and
die, believing the girl would make a wrong step soon. He just did not
anticipate what that step might be...

Author Bio
Jane is a writer
of authentic, passionate and emotional love stories.
She began her
first historical novel at sixteen, but a life full of adversity derailed her as
she lives with the restrictions of Ankylosing Spondylitis.
When she finally
completed a novel it was because she was determined not to reach forty still
saying, I want to write.
Now Jane is
writing both a Regency and Contemporary New Adult Romance series for and she is
thrilled to be giving her characters life in others’ imaginations at last.
You might think
that Jane was inspired to write by Jane Austen, especially as she lives near
Bath in the United Kingdom, but you would be wrong. Jane’s favourite author is
Anya Seton, and the book which drew her into the bliss of falling into
historical imagination was ‘Katherine’ a story crafted from reality.
Jane has drawn
on this inspiration to discover other real-life love stories, reading memoirs
and letters to capture elements of the past, and she uses them to create more
realistic plots. And as for her New Adults, well these were inspired by a trip
to America in May 2013.
‘Basically I
love the feeling of falling in love; it’s wonderful being able to do it time
and time again in fiction.’
Jane is also a
Chartered Member of the Institute of Personnel and Development in the United
Kingdom, and uses this specialist understanding of people to bring her
characters to life.
