Stella Cameron

MIRA Books, Jul 15, 2014 - Fiction - 400 pages

Return with New York Times bestselling author
Stella Cameron to fabulous 7 Mayfair Square,
where the outrageous is commonplace.


Adam Chillworth is a hard man. The mysterious and talented
portrait artist of 7C Mayfair Square is passionately in love with
Princess Desiree, though he has consistently refused her ardent
adoration, convinced that he’s too old and too worldly for her.
And he is, after all, only a commoner.


But Desiree—returning after months away nursing a broken
heart—has a plan. She’ll show him that she has matured, that
she’s no longer given to childish infatuations. She’ll treat him as
an old friend. How unfortunate that each time she’s with him
she imagines passionate encounters.


But while audacious Desiree is pursuing the Plan, ruthless
enemies from Adam’s secret past are closing in on him, placing
them both in desperate peril. As he fights with cool and deadly
skill, Desiree discovers that Adam Chillworth is a dangerous
man. Dangerous to hate—and to love.

About the author

Stella Cameron was born and raised on the southern coast of England where she met her American husband at a party in London. After their marriage, she left England and went with husband Jerry to Washington State to make a home and raise a family. Like many authors, Stella began her literary career as a reader. As a young girl, Stella was a self-professed reading "addict", devouring all types of literature. She learned very early to retreat from the demands of others into a gentler world -- her own. As a child and a young adult, books saved her because they helped free her while they entertained her. Her love of reading always went side-by-side with her love of writing. Nineteenth-century author Jane Austen was a particular favorite, and Stella admits that she particularly enjoys reading and writing books set in the 1800s, as well as contemporary novels. In 1980, Stella decided she wanted to write professionally. She attended writing classes and wrote short literary fiction for a year. It was during this period that Stella discovered how well-written and intense romantic fiction could be. Using her newly acquired writing skills, she began to write contemporary romantic fiction for Harlequin Americans and Intrigues. After several years, she moved up to Harlequin SuperRomances. In 1992, she made the switch to single titles with her first historical, Only By Your Touch. She has also authored a series entitled Rossmara Quartet along with several other romance titles. Stella Cameron sees herself as an entertainer and historian who adds her perspective to contemporary values through writing.
