Bio: Amy Lake's interest in British history began with Lady Longford's biography of Queen Victoria, later extending into the Edwardian and Regency periods. She has published three Regency romances, with overlapping characters, of which The Earl's Wife is the first. Amy has a particular interest in the Greek language, and after spending many years teaching herself ancient Greek-because everyone should have an impossible dream-she is now taking periodic trips to Athens to learn the modern language. In her other life, Amy is an occasional college biology teacher. She lives in Washington state with her husband and two sons. Also by Amy Lake: The Carriagemaker's Daughter and Lady Pamela
