About Gail Eastwood
Gail Eastwood is the author of seven Regencies that were originally published by Signet/Penguin.

A charming village, a struggling hero, a woman who risks heartbreak for a second time…. Some stories write themselves. Some stories fight you. I posted about this back in April (here) as I struggled with reworking LORD OF HER HEART. … Continue reading →
