Clara Montford writes Regency romance for readers who believe that a single look across a crowded ballroom can be more electric than a thousand words.
Born from a lifelong obsession with the muddy lanes of Hertfordshire and the salt-sprayed cliffs of the British coast, Clara’s stories focus on the "slow-burn" tension of the 19th century. She finds her inspiration in the quiet corners of history—the letters never sent, the duty that outweighs desire, and the resilient bonds between sisters.
When she isn't lost in the 1810s, Clara can be found wandering her own local paths (usually with a thermos of tea and a notebook), overthinking the historical accuracy of period dramas, and avoiding the chaos of social media in favor of a good book and a crackling fire.
The Unyielding Heart is her debut novel and the first in the Lockwood Sisters series.
