Cara Hogarth writes historical romances set in a medieval past full of castles, knights, and damsels who definitely don't need rescuing. Her stories sparkle with passion, adventure, and a touch of humor. Cara studied medieval history at university before realizing she much preferred writing fiction to research papers. Now she puts her historical training to good use by underpinning her romances with plenty of research. Her stories are usually set in fourteenth-century England and France. Cara was born in Salisbury, England. She grew up on a sheep farm, but has since worked as a cake cook, in a fun fair, in a library, and as an academic tutor and editor. She now lives in the wilds of Western Australia with a book-eating ragdoll cat.
