The sender was France&#8217;s Duke of Orl\u00e9ans. While he was being held in the Tower of London, he sent the card to his wife. What a nice story. Tell me\u2026The Season is filled with history buffs, is this story true? It\u2019s nice and romantic, so I\u2019d certainly like for it to be true.\u00a0 An imprisoned man sending his wife a letter of love is incredibly romantic.<\/p>\n<p>You see, I love romance.\u00a0 Ahem, that would probably be why I am a romance writer. I enjoy happy endings. Real life doesn\u2019t always give us happy endings. In real life, there are ups and downs (and infamous towers\u2026).\u00a0 But in romance books, our endings are guaranteed.<\/p>\n<p>In my current release, <strong><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">DEADLY HEAT<\/span><\/strong>, I set up some pretty powerful obstacles for my hero and heroine to overcome. They basically have to fight for their lives if they want the sweet reward of lasting love.\u00a0 I guess you could say I made them work for their happy ending. But, I do promise\u2014they <em>get<\/em> that ending.<\/p>\n<p><strong>So now I\u2019d like to know\u2026what are your big plans for Valentine\u2019s Day?\u00a0 Is there a special gift that you\u2019d love to receive?\u00a0 One random commenter will win a copy of<\/strong><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong> DEADLY HEAT<\/strong><\/span>.<\/p>\n<p>Best wishes (and happy Valentine\u2019s Day!)<\/p>\n<p>Cynthia Eden<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.cynthiaeden.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">www.cynthiaeden.com<\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong>DEADLY HEAT<\/strong><\/span>\u2014Available now from Grand Central Publishing (Forever)<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #003366;\"><strong>DEADLY LIES<\/strong><\/span>\u2014Available 3\/1\/11 from Grand Central Publishing (Forever)<\/p>\n<!--themify_builder_content-->\n<div id=\"themify_builder_content-5956\" data-postid=\"5956\" class=\"themify_builder_content themify_builder_content-5956 themify_builder tf_clear\">\n    <\/div>\n<!--\/themify_builder_content-->\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>BE MINE by Cynthia Eden I love Valentine\u2019s Day.
