About Elisabeth Fairchild


Elisabeth Fairchild fell in love with words as a child. She read voraciously, (although she didn't understand that big word way back then.) Books, magazines, product labels and cereal boxes-- if it had words she read it. In the third grade she wrote her first book (unpublished) about a community of snails that lived under a trash can. She's been writing ever since. A graduate of NTSU, she worked ten years in advertising, writing on coffee breaks and weekends. It was not until she began her first Regency romance, that she considered quitting her job as an art director to make writing her top priotity.

Finished manuscript in hand, Elisabeth entered the 1991 GDWA/UTD Craft Of Writing Competition, winning several awards and connecting with one of the judges, an agent who likes her work and said she could sell the Regency if 200 pages were cut. Elisabeth cut. The agent sold. THE SILENT SUITOR was released by Signet in April '94.

Elisabeth Fairchild - Captain Cupid Calls the Shots

Battles of the Heart

Captain Alexander Shelbourne was known as Cupid to his friends for his uncanny marksmanship in battle. But when he accompanied a fellow soldier home and met the lovely Penny Foster, he himself became a target -of scorn and gossip. ...

The fatherless child at Penny's side had tarnished her reputation-but for a soldier who had witnessed the worst of man's indignity to man, a child born out of wedlock mattered little when it came to love. No one knew that Penny's heart held a secret that could cost her the little girl she held dear. Mired in the guilt of war, Alexander found his one chance at redemption when he learned the truth of little Felicity's parentage. He would have to face his comrade in arms in a battle of the heart-if he wanted to save his last chance for love....

Elisabeth Fairchild - A Game of Patience

Winning at Love

Patience Ballard has fond memories of her two best childhood friends-fim-Ioving Pip and dear, dependable Richard. But now that she is ready to marry, it is Pip she wants-and she's come to London to find him. ...


Patience is crushed when she learns that Pip is already engaged-and not even Richard's sweet whispers of consolation can soothe her wounded heart. But there's something decidedly odd about Pip's much talked about love affair-for he does not seem the least bit interested in his intended. Patience is puzzled. And when she sees firsthand just how cruel Pip can be, she starts to wonder if Richard - calm, trustworthy, serious Richard-is the man with the key to her heart....

Elisabeth Fairchild - Miss Dornton's Hero

Fateful Attraction
It was lovely young Miss Margaret Dornton 's first London season. That was why she knew nothing of the fearful reputation of the dark and handsome Evelyn Dade until it was terribly too late.
To be seen in this notorious gentleman's company meant scandal and social disgrace. To be on close terms with him was to court the most dreadful of dangers. And to fall in love with the bitter and brooding Lord Dade went beyond folly into the realm of ruin. But this inexperienced, impressionable young lady did even more. She awoke the passions of this man driven by private demons, for whom love and war were one and the same. Which meant she not only had to fight her own desires but defeat his as well-in a battle to save what was left of her good name even after she had lost her heart....
