Grace Burrowes is an American best-selling author of acclaimed historical romance novels. Her beautifully written and award-winning Regency and Scottish Victorian romance novels burst with enough heart and heat, and all ending with the quintessential happily-every-afters.
Grace has talked about her love for writing a lot, and has confessed at some time that before she has gotten the opportunity to be published, she has written at least two million words on just romantic fiction alone. It is some form of encouragement perhaps for any other aspiring novelist, to indulge oneself in the written language, like how she would spend her mornings going straight to her personal computer with her cup of tea to begin hours of attempting to focus on the one thing she is passionate about, which is of course writing.
Her success as a romance author may have stemmed from her younger years spent reading one romance novel to another. To add to that, being raised in rural Pennsylvania as the sixth of seven children and having her own chubby gelding named Buck, may have contributed to her later astounding success in writing her ever popular swashbuckling, romance works of fiction.
Although currently her name has become synonymous to love and romance, tender moments and passionate trysts, Grace started her career as a technical writer and editor. In between her somewhat strict profession, she was still able to continue her journey with romance novels as she finds herself getting more and more sucked in a world of discreet affairs, amorous rendezvous, and flights of tender love.
A seemingly unending list of romance novels aside, Grace still managed to get a law degree, started her own law practice, and finish her master’s degree in Conflict Management. And bringing with her this everlasting love for romance novels, she finally decided to not just read them but start writing them.
Stories Set Perfectly During an Era of Romance
Of gallant dukes and dainty duchesses, Victorian-era courtships, intricate gallantry, and an entire family set about on complicated and intertwined stories about love for family, escaping dark pasts, and the undying thirst for passionate love and all that comes with it, all of Grace’s books are rich with the same. From her Windham series that saw an age where marrying is as important as giving honour to one’s family, to the Captive Hearts Series that all speak or and vibrate with that one known universal language which is love.
In between writing The Lonely Lords series, Grace has also successfully churned out the equally appealing historical romance series, The MacGregor Series. Set in the Scottish Highlands during Queen Victoria’s reign, the series revolved around the colourful lives of three Scottish earls of the Clan MacGregor. There is Ian MacGregor, from The Bridegroom Wore Plaid, who seek to marry for money. Then there is Tiberius Flyn, Earl of Spathofy, from the Once Upon a Tartan, who travelled to the Highlands to take care of his niece but ends up falling for the niece’s aunt Hester. And lastly meet Asher MacGregor, from The MacGregor’s Lady, whose efforts to find a husband for an American heiress is coupled by his own efforts to avoid being tied down to matrimony.
In December 2010, Grace published the first book from the Duke’s Obsession series, that is a set from the Windham series.
The book was aptly entitled The Heir, an ode to one of the series’ main characters Percival Wyndham, the Duke of Moreland. He is known to only have three passions: his living devotion to his lovely duchess, his scheming at the parliament and mostly, his keen determination to have all his sons married off and thus ensure that their family’s ducal succession is secured.
The book introduced to its readers the gallant Gayle Wyndham, Earl of Westhaven and heir to the Duke of Moreland, who decidedly escaped his father’s overbearing pressure for him to settle down by holing up at his townhouse in London for the summer. The story later on becomes more intriguing as the Duke finds himself captivated by his beautiful and equally intelligent housekeeper, Anne Seaton. The book, bound by secrets and longing, saw these two characters lose themselves and their hearts to each other. Grace beautifully spun a tale of a man who despite having his pre-destined and cushioned life threatened wishes nothing more but to protect the woman he has come to love dearly.
Immediately in October of 2011, Grace followed up the success of the Duke’s Obsession series with another subset from the Wyndham series. This time the series was entitled The Duke’s Daughters and you could guess right, the books play on the Duke and Duchess of Moreland’s goal to marry off their equally wonderful, exquisite, and beautiful daughters. The Windham sisters: Sophie, Maggie, Louisa, Evie and Jenny, all were afraid of their dimming marital hopes but in each book, Grace outlined how families from brothers to sisters to parents all conspired together to give each Windham lady their sought after happy ever afters.
The series was launched with the Lady Sophie’s Christmas Wish. The story started off with the usual London snowstorm and the most unusual event – taking care of an abandoned baby with a stranger. The story of how Sophia Windham and Vim Charpentier, together taking care of a precious little charge, ends up in the sweetest of attractions.
Grace drew inspiration for her initial book series mainly from her coming from a large family. Coming from such a family has lent her enough enthusiasm and insight on how big families work. The camaraderie and endless banter that only siblings have for each other, and the love and sometimes overbearingness that parents have for their children can truly be a meaningful and useful source of vision for writing such books. She’s written the Windham Series and its offshoot The Lonely Lords series that saw characters hat have some Windham connections at some point. Her eight-sibling series all gave her the chance to create secondary characters, and so allowed her to write plenty more interconnected stories with heroes and heroines who are are connected and so making her characters more human and her books a lot more relatable, even if they’re all set in a different era. These, along with her her incredible and compelling story telling, has branded all her books that unique Grace Burrowes touch.
