As always, whenever I have the privilege of writing a novel there are a lot of people to thank. I want to begin with the usual suspects, my mother, Karen English, my father, Carl English, and my brother, Barry English, for a lifetime of your love and encouragement. Thanks to my godparents, Ron and Vena Miller, as well as my dear friends, Amy and Troy Pierce, Laura Creasy, and LaDonna Lindgren for the years of love and unwavering support. My affectionate thanks also go to Trilby Newkirk and Marianne and Chris Nubel for their sympathetic ear, and for always making me laugh just at the right moment. And I have to thank Mike and Jennifer Peace as well as Ellen and Andy Seltz, not just for the years of friendship, but for raising four of the best girls ever to walk the face of the earth.
I also want to thank the incredible team at Sourcebooks Casablanca. Without my amazing editor, Mary Altman, the Waterses and all their antics never would have seen the light of day. Many thanks to Rachel Gilmer and her stellar team, as well as Hilary for her timely and thoughtful insights, and to Amelia Narigon for getting the word out. And I have to thank the design team for the beautiful cover.
A heartfelt thanks to you, the readers, for spending time with me and my Highlanders.

When a Rake Falls
The Rake's Handbook
by Sally Orr
He's racing to win back his reputation
Having hired a balloon to get him to Paris in a daring race, Lord Boyce Parker is simultaneously exhilarated and unnerved by the wonders and dangers of flight, and most of all by the beautiful, stubborn, intelligent lady operating the balloon.
She's curious about the science of love
Eve Mountfloy is in the process of conducting weather experiments when she finds herself spirited away to France by a notorious rake. She's only slightly dismayedâthe rake seems to respect her workâbut she is frequently distracted by his windblown good looks and buoyant spirits.
What happens when they descend from the clouds?
As risky as aeronautics may be, once their feet touch the ground, Eve and Boyce learn the real danger of a very different type of fallingâ¦
