Suzanne Enoch Quote
He sighed. You’ve chosen poorly, you know. When we return to England you’ll be celebrated, just as I will be. If you’ve decided to abandon me, you might have netted someone titled, someone with enough wealth to see you esteemed and me able to continue my botanical studies. That would have been the aim of a dutiful daughter.I’m not abandoning you, and I chose Shaw. You’re the one who declined to attend your daughter’s wedding.You never used to speak to me like this. A dutiful child would never have accepted a proposal from the first man who asked, simply because he did ask.He didn’t propose to me. I proposed to him.Finally he looked more surprised than angry and frustrated. You proposed to him?Yes, because I didn’t think he believed me when I said that I loved him. I can hardly blame him, since I had to think about it for an entire day after he said it to me, but I do love him. More than I can articulate to you.

About Suzanne Enoch
Enoch began writing down her own stories when she was a child. She graduated from the University of California, Irvine with a degree in English. Her first attempts at writing were in the romantic fantasy genre, but she soon began writing Regency romances. Her first novel, The Black Duke's Prize, was published by Avon in 1995. She quit her full-time job in 2002 to devote herself to writing.
Although Enoch has had great success writing Regency romances, in 2005 she published her first contemporary romantic suspense novel. She has continued to write in both genres, telling an interviewer that "I think working in one genre replenishes my energy for the other." Her novels have appeared on The New York Times Best Seller list as well as those compiled by USA Today and Publishers Weekly.
