Caroline Linden was born a reader, not a writer. She earned a degree in mathematics from Harvard University and worked as a programmer in the financial services industry before realizing writing fiction is much more exciting than writing code. Her books have won the NEC-RWA Readers' Choice Award, the JNRW Golden Leaf, the Daphne du Maurier Award, and RWA's RITA Award, and have been translated into seventeen languages around the world. She lives in New England.

Get A Study in Scandal FREE!

From all retailers, download A Study in Scandal (part of my Scandalous series) absolutely free! It's got a brand new epilogue, and an extended preview of my next book When the Marquess Was Mine because the heroes of these two books are brothers.

Don't wait too long, though--this will only be free for a limited time.

Happy reading!

Quotes by Caroline Linden (?)

“Would you like me to court you?鈥� the earl finally asked.
YES. She smoothed her hands over her skirts to keep from confessing it aloud. 鈥淚 would like to know if you are,鈥� she replied. 鈥淥r what your intentions are, if you aren鈥檛.鈥�
鈥淢y intentions . . .鈥� His slow smile acted like a torch held to her skin. She felt prickly with heat and yet transfixed by the glowing allure of it. 鈥淚 intend to have you, Maggie, in every way a man can have a woman. I want your hand in mine while we dance. I want you laughing beside me in the theater. I want you lying naked in my arms at night. And I want you standing beside me in church, saying 鈥業 will.鈥� ”
― Caroline Linden

“Men can bed any woman,鈥� she said stiffly. 鈥淚t means nothing.鈥�
He paused. 鈥淣othing,鈥� he repeated thoughtfully. 鈥淚t rarely means nothing. And sometimes, in very particular circumstances, it means a great deal.”
― Caroline Linden, Blame It on Bath

“To the ends of the earth, madam, to say nothing of back and forth in this garden.”
