In 17th-century New England, Rosalind Chandler’s complete lack of interest in ever becoming a bride is a constant source of speculation and gossip in town. Then a twist of fate delivers two men – enemies of each other – into her life on the same day. Although both men initially intrigue her, one soon turns her blood cold, while the other heats it to a degree she is unable to comprehend…or deny. Soon her resolve never to wed begins to crumble. The problem is, the proposal of marriage comes from the wrong man...and he refuses to be denied. Arianna Eastland is a native New Englander whose fascination with the Native-American culture and history in her area led her to read everything she could on the subject. One book she read alleged that many Pilgrim women who were kidnapped and held for ransom by Native-American warriors opted not to return to their husbands because they became infatuated with their captors. This gave Arianna the idea for her first romance novel, TOO FAR TO WHISPER, set in 17th-Century New England. When she is not writing, Arianna enjoys hiking, traveling and art. She also confesses that one of her guilty pleasures is watching TV reality shows.
