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.
