Gift-Wrapped Governesses - Christmas at Blackhaven Castle / Governess to Christmas Bride / Duchess by Christmas

Georgette Heyer novels formed Sophia James's reading tastes as a teenager. But her writing life only started when she was given a pile of Mills & Boons to read after she had had her wisdom teeth extracted! Filled with strong painkillers she imagined that she could pen one, too. Many drafts later Sophia thinks she has the perfect job writing for Harlequin Historical as well as taking art tours to Europe with her husband, who is a painter. Annie Burrows love of stories meant that when she was old enough to go to university, she chose English literature.
She wasn't sure what she wanted to do beyond that, but one day, she began to wonder if all those daydreams that kept her mind occupied whilst carrying out mundane chores, would provide similar pleasure to other women. She was right. and Annie hasn't looked back since.
