Julianne Donaldson is a hopeless romantic--and that fact has led her to considerable success. In 2012 she wrote Edenbrooke,which received instant acclaim and won three significant awards:

  • 2012 Best Novel by a New Author — Whitney Awards
  • 2012 Book of the Year Award Finalist — Foreword Magazine
  • 2012 Honorable Mention — Great Southwest Book Festival

As a refreshingly clean but still wonderfully passionate romance novel, Edenbrooke has set itself apart in a market full of content that increasingly tries to push boundaries to get noticed.

About theinspiration behind this novel, Donaldson says:

I was a huge fan of Jane Austen and Georgette Heyer, but I couldn't find other authors who could give me what they gave me in terms of a proper but utterly romantic story. So I decided to write my own.

And now, Donaldson has announced she is writing a prequel to Edenbrooke told from the point-of-view of the main heartthrob character, Philip.
