Jennie Lucas's parents owned a bookstore and she grew up surrounded by books, dreaming about faraway lands.

At twenty-two she met her future husband and after their marriage, she graduated from university with a degree in English. She started writing books a year later.

Jennie won the Romance Writers of America’s Golden Heart contest in 2005 and hasn’t looked back since.

Kim Lawrence was encouraged by her husband to write when the unsocial hours of nursing didn't look attractive! He told her she could do anything she set her mind to, so Kim tried her hand at writing. Always a keen Mills & Boon reader, it seemed natural for her to write a romance novel - now she can't imagine doing anything else. She is a keen gardener and cook and enjoys running on the beach with her Jack Russell. Kim lives in Wales.
