Spotlight: STEPPING ACROSS THE ENGLISH CHANNEL by Kat Caldwell


Genre: Historical Romance

Summary: They thought marriage would be easy, but marriage is never convenient.

“The will says the house is ‘for you, your wife and children, Philip.’ But you have no wife. Therefore, the house is mine.”

It’s 1836, England. At only 33, Philip Daucer planned to explore the world, then settle down.. But with his brother threatening his inheritance, Phillip is backed into a corner. Determined to save what he inherited—and beat his brother at his own game—Phillip sets out to find a wife.

In faraway Spain, Carmen Suárez is reeling from a failed relationship. Enter Phillip, a man who makes her heart soar. Tall, handsome and very English, he offers marriage and adventure—life in another country. Sadly, Philip is proposing they marry for convenience—he will offer her the security of marriage, if she helps him keep his house, Carmen accepts his terms.

But as they rush to solve their immediate problems, Phillip and Carmen open themselves to clashes over culture and religion. Putting love secondary to his inheritance, Phillip asks too much of Carmen. Disappointed, she considers returning to Spain.

When threatened with stronger adversaries than expected, Philip and Carmen must change course before one house and one secret add up to potential disaster. When their marriage becomes anything but convenient, can they let love win?

Follow Phillip and Carmen’s journey as Kat Caldwell marries historical romance, cultural clashes, in this friends-to-lovers page turner that will have you up all night.





Author Bio: This Wisconsinite cherishes her early childhood outside, but asthma soon forced her indoors where she discovered a world through books. She started to as a very young kid, primarily 'fan fiction' of the books she had just read, though she didn't know the name for it.

Kat continued to write through middle and high school, but soon found herself pressured by the people around her to pursue a 'real job/real degree'. Instead she traveled a bit while trying to finish a linguistics degree...which she has never really put to use other than learning to speak languages.

Finding herself fired in the crisis of 2008, Kat set about reviving her dream to be a writer. After trying her hand at blogging and writing for online magazines, and having three little rambunctious girls, she wrote several books that she is now able to publish through her own company, Ladwell Publishing. It is an exciting time in the publishing industry and Kat is happy to be part of it.
