About this book

Heather Martin thought the old Gypsy's prediction, that she'd marry a tall, dark stranger, was just a fortune-telling cliche. Besides, the only "dark stranger" she'd met lately was the overbearing Nick Antonovic, whose son Branko had developed a fervent crush on on his ESL teacher at his school in Coeur d'Alene, Idaho. . He precipitated a crisis by fastening a "marriage bracelet" to her wrist, one she couldn't remove because of a hidden clasp, one that belonged to his dead mother, the Gypsy Ibra, whose hold on Nick's heart seemed undiminished. When Branko disappeared, Heather had to find him and fight her love for Nick.

For the past 15 years, she's taught junior-high and high-school French and history, and says she got into serious writing almost by accident. "I went through a back door to begin my writing career," she says. "In the first place, I never liked to write anything -- I only wrote mandatory papers for school. If anyone had told me I would become a writer, let alone love it, I would have laughed and dismissed the notion as absolutely absurd and preposterous. Having said that, I did write letters to my parents while I was away at boarding school when I was 17. My mother kept them and one day, after I had become a mother for the second time, she sent me all my old letters and asked me to write my memories from them for posterity. At the time I thought she was insane, but because I adore my mother I did as she asked. By the time I'd finished sorting through all those teenage thoughts, observations and opinions, the seeds of a story had begun to form in my mind. The seed eventually became a novel and was published in 1979. It was called The Loving Season, published under the name Rebecca Burton. Naturally, it takes place in Switzerland and France. As soon as I finished that novel, I found myself wanting to start another novel entitled By Love Divided, a World War II romance. A few years later, Harlequin bought a novel, Blind to Love, a story that takes
