About the Author
Originally from Pittsburgh, Bess Greenfield graduated from Cornell University and University of Pittsburgh School of Law. After a succession of jobs (cocktail waitress, receptionist, journalist, lawyer), she finally came to the realization that her true calling was writing historical romance. A lifelong fan of romance novels, she began compiling material by traveling extensively and independently in her early twenties. Looking back on her many narrow escapes from precarious situations, she marvels that she's still alive. But she has plenty of material. Now she saves her bold adventures for her heroines and hopes her three children will have more common sense. When she's not immersed in her imagination and history, she can often be found reading or hiking in one of Colorado's many mountains with her husband and the children (after some serious coaxing). Sometimes she even takes along her chocolate Labrador, Houdini, who needs no coaxing at all. For more information or to sign up for her mailing list for new releases, visit bessgreenfield.weebly.com.

Praise for The Count’s Last Mistress (The Valencourts, Book 1)
"It's very exciting to find a debut author with such talent not only for crafting a story but for telling it so beautifully...This book practically oozes atmosphere. I was fascinated by this foray into the artistic underworld of Paris...The setting, description, characterization, emotional angst, and rich storytelling all add up for one sublimely satisfying read. I couldn't put it down. The Count's Last Mistress is a true standout in a sea of Regency and Victorian romances, and I am anxiously awaiting Miss Greenfield's next novel!" 4.5 stars - Jenny Q, Let Them Read Books
"The personalities of these characters develop before your eyes. They become real to you and you do not want the story to end... It captivated me from the first page. The love scenes are so passionate and real." 5+ stars - The Romance Reviews

To my brilliant, hilarious, and talented sister Danielle: I’m so grateful that you are still in my life even though you live 1,451 miles away. You’re always there for me whether I’m at my worst or my best. What would I do without you?
