Clare Connelly was raised in small-town Australia among a family of avid readers. She spent much of her childhood up a tree, Harlequin book in hand.
She is married to her own real-life hero in a bungalow near the sea with their two children. She is frequently found staring into space - a surefire sign she is in the world of her characters. Writing for Harlequin Presents is a long-held dream. Clare can be contacted via clareconnelly.com or on her Facebook page.
Jackie writes dark, emotional stories with alpha heroes who've just got the world to their liking only to have it blown wide apart by their kick-ass heroines.
She lives in Auckland, New Zealand, with her husband the inimitable Dr Jax and two kids.
When she's not torturing alpha males, she can be found drinking chocolate martinis, reading anything she can lay her hands on, wasting time on social media, or forced to mountain biking with her husband.
Lucy King spent her adolescence lost in the world of Mills & Boon when she ought to have been paying attention to her teachers. But as she couldn't live in a dreamworld forever, she eventually acquired a degree in languages and an eclectic collection of jobs.
After a decade in Spain, Lucy now lives in Wiltshire with her young family where, when not writing, she spends time reading, failing to finish cryptic crosswords and missing the beaches of Andalucia.
