The author of this musical romance cannot play the piano to save her life!

The original working title of this novel was A PASSIONATE CONCERTO, and I still call it that by mistake all of the time.

I've learned that this book is very popular among inmates in Texas prisons. I'm not sure I want to know why!

The hero, Max, is named after my nephew. I asked my brother and his wife how they would feel about having a romance novel hero named after their five-year old son, warning them they might want to read a romance novel before making their decision! At last, they agreed, but Max Fowler will not be allowed to read the book until he is much older.

Most readers report that their favorite character in this book is Betsy, with Bryan (the butler) coming in a close second.

New College at Oxford is mentioned in the book as a tribute to my alma mater, New College of USF, which was modeled after that school.

This manuscript originally contained an act of passion that was "illegal" in the world of romance. It was edited out.
