A Passion for Passion is a love letter to genre romance fiction. It celebrates the joyful silliness of books that are written to follow the rules. Alice Fraser has a special place in her heart for the sweeping silliness of romance novels. The journey to reach a believable Happily Ever After can go via an unbelievable rollercoaster of intensity, through wildly entertaining twists and unlikely turns. To celebrate the unparalleled joy this genre can bring to readers and defy its oft maligned status, Alice has created the author, D\’Ancey LaGuarde, the ineffably mysterious, outrageously prolific, undisputed regent of the art of romance. Collecting together excerpts, book cover designs, character sketches and synopses of D\’Anceys most absurdly frivolous and outlandishly whimsical works: from A Knight of Passion to The Dragon Lord\’s Lady and Luring the Laird to A Cowboy Called Home, this is an exclusive glimpse into the tropes and dreams that rise like perfumed bubbles through the fecund swamp of the romantic mind, and a fulsome challenge to anyone denying the importance of joy purely for its own sake. This book will be a constant source of solace and encouragement for romance fans worldwide, and the perfect companion to smuggle into your next ball . . .
