Loosely based on "The Ballad of Barbara Allen" and the Irish folktale of the same title, "The Briar and the Rose" is a historical, paranormal romance of love lost, memories forgotten and two lives redeemed from guilt. Devan, Marquess of Castlereagh, has just returned to Dahlingham, his Ireland estate, to mourn Lady Katherine, who died in a great fire the night of the ball at Dakshire -- the very night they were to run away to Gretna Green and elope. Enter Raven, found near death in his gardens with no memory of her past. When Devan first sees her, his heart nearly stops -- she is the spitting image of his lost Katherine, but her Irish brogue proves beyond doubt that she is not. From historical Ireland to the beau monde and the elegant ballrooms of Regency London, together, Devan and Raven discover the truth of her past, and a passionate love so strong it cannot be denied. Laura Mills-Alcott currently resides in Northeast Ohio with her three beautiful children, two dogs and too many cats.
