Suzanne Enoch Quote
The book jolted loose from her arm and fell to the ground. Opening her mouth to apologize to the man she'd bumped into, Rose turned around. And stopped.A History of the New World, he read, straightening with the book in his hands.Eyes black as pitch regarded her. She'd never seen eyes like that before. The effect of their direct, level gaze was... unsettling. Beside her, Maggie gave a small gasp. Thank you for retrieving my book, sir, she said, finding that her voice wanted to quaver and fighting against it. May I have it back?His head tilted a little to one side, a strand of coal black hair falling forward across his forehead. He was all in black, she realized, from his beaver hat to his gloves to the soles of his boots. Only a white shirt collar and simply tied white cravat leavened his stark appearance. No, not stark, she amended as he glanced down at the book again. Predatory. All six lean feet of him.Do the Americas interest you? he asked, his voice a low, cultured drawl that seemed to resonate down her spine.Learning things interests me, she replied, and held out her hand.The corner of his mouth quirked, and he slowly placed the book into her fingers. Well, then. I could teach you such things, Lady Rosamund, he murmured.

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.
