Sophie Leigh Fox is the pen name for a Christian romance indie author from Atlanta. She has been reading since age three and writing since third grade, making up stories while on her backyard swing. She lives in North Georgia with her husband and three dogs. When she’s not reading or writing, Sophie loves exploring God’s great outdoors or in the kitchen baking a tea time treat.

While she never planned to write historical romance, Sophie's first attempt placed her as a 2021 ACFW Genesis Semifinalist. She crafts sweet romance with a dash of wit, highlighting the struggle of surrendering a stubborn heart to true love. 

 

Love, Most Ardently is her first historical romance series, featuring couples in Regency England who must overcome various obstacles to find their Happily Ever Afters. Will societal expectations conquer true romance or will it be enough to Love, Most Ardently?

With Whom will She Dance?   

In a London ballroom, a dashing duke's appeal misses the mark for an unwilling lady...

Miss Wilhemina Rose Middleton is a reluctant debutante and country gentleman’s daughter, unimpressed with society’s standards of courtship.

The Duke of Heighbury is a prominent man of means and title, vexed by society’s expectations of the gentry.

During the London season, a chance meeting in a ballroom appears to be a random, forgettable occasion. When the duke openly rebuffs a country gentleman’s daughter at the ball, it proves Willa’s disdain for courtship practices. In spite of being a reluctant debutante, her delicate ego is bruised by his flippant dismissal while the duke appears too distracted and ignorant of his self-absorbed slight of An Unwilling Lady.

When their paths cross again a year later, can Willa elude an arranged marriage to the suddenly eager man who ignored her at a London ball or will she yield her heart and hand to The Duke’s Last Word?
