Angela Quarles

Angela Quarles writes romance that moves between present-day comedy and time travel. Her interest in history, genealogy, and folklore shapes the settings, while her characters often have to rethink assumptions carried from one era into another. Earning It opens the contemporary Stolen Moments series. Set in Sarasota, it brings together Pepper Wellington and Luke Haas after mistaken identity reconnects former school rivals, with Luke's Navy background and Irish hurling team adding texture to their uneasy reunion. Must Love Kilts belongs to a different sequence, the Must Love time-travel romances. Traci Campbell reaches eighteenth-century Scotland during the Jacobite rising and encounters Iain MacCowan, making cultural misunderstanding part of the courtship rather than decorative scenery. That novel follows Must Love Breeches and Must Love Chainmail; the preceding volume won the Romance Writers of America's 2016 RITA Award for paranormal romance. Across Earning It and Must Love Kilts, Quarles uses comic friction, historical detail, and protagonists displaced from their expectations to build two distinct kinds of romantic story.
