Dear Reader,

Two years ago on a cold damp night in Bath, England, the two of us were sitting in a restaurant talking-as writers are wont to do-about what if…

What if we wrote a book together…what if we each had a hero…what if one was British and the other American…?

Of course, one what if led to another, and when Anne went home to America and Lucy went home to Northampton, we e-mailed each other more what ifs…and Gabe and Randall-and their crusty grandfather, the earl-were born.

What we’ve written is a book about two men who look alike but think differently, cousins from opposite sides of the Atlantic, cast adrift in each other’s world, floundering until two feisty, loving women take them in hand.

We wrote the Prologue and Epilogue jointly. Individually, Anne wrote about Gabe and Frederica (and counted on Lucy for advice on “darkest” Devon) and Lucy wrote about Randall and Claire (and depended on Anne to get her unscathed through a Montana winter).

Working together was a fresh and fun experience. We had a great time. We hope you do, too.
