Born For This: A Match for the Marquess - Paperback

Snyder, S. K.: - A Texas girl who fell in love with Cinderella long before she ever knew what the Regency era was, and never quite recovered.S. K. Snyder lives north of the Dallas metroplex with her husband Jack, a stable of Arabian horses, and a collection of rescue cats. But ask her where her heart truly lives, and she will tell you without hesitation: early 1800s England, in the drawing rooms and gardens and shadowed corridors where her characters breathe.Her path to writing was anything but direct. The career she remains most proud of was helping families rebuild after weather-related disasters, work that took her across the United States and taught her that resilience and love look the same in every zip code. That understanding lives in every heroine she writes.Her literary loves run deep. Jane Austen and Georgette Heyer shaped how she sees the Regency world; Thackeray and Fielding gave her the Georgian one. Among contemporary authors, she returns most often to Mary Balogh, Judith McNaught, Emma V. Leech, Barbara Metzger, Alice Chetwynd Ley, and Madeline Hunter. She researches obsessively, keeping one foot in the present so that the emotions her heroines feel remain timeless.She writes sensual, emotional Regency romance for mature women who want escape, validation, and a heroine who grows into her own skin. She opens the door but does not linger past it. She writes the hard situations women and men found themselves in when only perfection was acceptable, and she writes of feelings, not physical descriptions.Every romantic heart deserves its Prince Charming. In her books, he tends to be a rakish nobleman with a wounded soul and a redeemable heart.
