CANDLE IN THE WINDOW was the first book I ever
published. More than that, at every autographing I hear, "My
favorite book of all the books you've written is CANDLE
IN THE WINDOW." Mind you, I have now published over
thirty novels, and I can get a little testy about being told
my first book was my best, but CANDLE did win Romance
Writers of America's Golden Heart Award (when I was
unpublished) and the RITA award (after it was published) and
almost every award in the business. And I love the story
myself. After all, that's why I wrote it.
It seems a mighty warrior, Sir William, was blinded in
battle, and his father, Lord Peter, found him someone who
could force him out of his depression and teach him how to
function in the world. What William doesn't know is that his
teacher is young, beautiful—and also blind.
