Lauren Willig

Laren willigA native of New York City, she attended Yale, where she majored in Renaissance Studies and Political Science, then studied graduate level early modern European history at Harvard before entering and graduating from Harvard Law School. She now works for Cravath, Swaine & Moore, a law firm in New York, while authoring her "Pink Carnation" series of books.

Her books include The Deception of the Emerald Ring, The Masque of the Black Tulip, and The Secret History of the Pink Carnation. The frame story of each work follows Eloise Kelly, an American grad student, as she attempts to write her dissertation and unmask the Pink Carnation (a Napoleonic-era spy inspired by The Scarlet Pimpernel) – and find love with an attractive Englishman, Colin.[1] The books also feature several different romantic adventures detailing the exploits of the Purple Gentian, the Pink Carnation, the Black Tulip, and a host of other characters from early 19th century England and France.

 Lauren’s hero in Lauren’s words - he’s distinctly intoxicating! Let us know how you find him?

Nothing goes right for Eloise. The one day she wears her new suede boots, it rains cats and dogs. When the tube stops short, she’s always the one thrown into some stranger’s lap. Plus, she’s had more than her share of misfortune in the way of love. In fact, after she realises romantic heroes are a thing of the past, she decides it’s time for a fresh start.

Eloise is also determined to finish her dissertation on that dashing pair of spies, the Scarlet Pimpernel and the Purple Gentian. But what she discovers is something the finest historians have missed: the secret history of the Pink Carnation – the most elusive spy of all time. As she works to unmask this obscure spy, Eloise stumbles across answers to all kinds of questions. How did the Pink Carnation save England from Napoleon? What became of the Scarlet Pimpernel and the Purple Gentian? And will Eloise Kelly escape her bad luck and find a living breathing hero of her own?
