Magic Trilogy #1 / 3
by Catherine Coulter
Midsummer Magic (Magic Trilogy #1) by Catherine Coulter
Unrated

Philip Hawksbury, the Earl of Rothermere, obeying his father's dying wish, hies himself to Scotland to offer for one of the daughters of Alexander Kilbracken, the Earl of Ruthven. Frances Kilbracken, informed of the earl's arrival and his mission, disguises herself as a bespectacled dowd so she won't be the one selected by the young earl. But choose her he does, and for all the wrong reasons. The newly married couple return to England, together but not at all happy. Philip dumps Frances at Desborough Hall, his ancestral estate, and heads back to his old life in London. Ah, but Desborough has a stud farm and racing stable, and Frances is magic with horses. When the earl returns to his home, driven by guilt, he discovers the woman he married has grossly deceived him. What follows is a battle of the sexes that will have you chuckling, maybe even howling with laughter...

Catherine Coulter

Catherine Coulter’s writing career began with a simple love of stories, and over time, she has become a staple in the world of suspense, thriller, and romance fiction. Born and raised in Texas, her early life was steeped in the wide-open spaces of a horse ranch, an experience that would later shape her rich, evocative storytelling. But it was her academic journey that steered her toward writing; after graduating from the University of Texas and Boston College, Coulter first dipped her toes in the world of words as a speechwriter on Wall Street.

However, it wasn’t long before her passion for storytelling took center stage. Inspired by her love of romance novels, she began crafting her own narratives, with her debut, The Autumn Countess, arriving in 1978. The world quickly took notice of her knack for creating strong characters and engaging plots, and over the years, she found her voice blending romance with rich, intricate mystery and suspense.

Coulter’s career is perhaps best known for the FBI Thriller series, which kicked off with The Cove in 1996. This series, featuring the brilliant and daring FBI agents Dillon Savich and Lacey Sherlock, would go on to capture the imaginations of readers worldwide. Mixing suspense with elements of crime, investigation, and the occasional twist of romance, her FBI Thriller books have earned her a loyal following, with each new installment eagerly anticipated by fans.

Her ability to seamlessly weave together multiple genres also led her to a collaboration with J.T. Ellison on the Brit in the FBI series, where espionage and international intrigue bring even more layers to her already varied storytelling. Meanwhile, her Grayson Sherbrooke’s Otherworldly Adventures explored a touch of the supernatural, further demonstrating Coulter's versatility and willingness to explore new realms.

Throughout her prolific career, Catherine Coulter has written more than 90 novels, and her works have been translated into multiple languages, making her an internationally recognized author. Despite her success, she remains as passionate as ever about her craft, often retreating to the Northern California landscape where she lives with her husband, Anton Pogany, and their two cats. A lover of sports, hiking, and books, Coulter continues to draw inspiration from the world around her, crafting stories that keep readers on the edge of their seats.

What sets Coulter apart is her exceptional ability to create characters who are as complex as the mysteries they unravel. Whether writing about the tension of criminal investigations or the emotional depth of romance, her books are marked by a rare balance of heart and suspense, a combination that has allowed her to remain at the forefront of popular fiction for decades.
