Sharon Kendrick started story-telling at the age of eleven and has never stopped. She likes to write fast-paced, feel-good romances with heroes who are so sexy they’ll make your toes curl! She lives in the beautiful city of Winchester – where she can see the cathedral from her window (when standing on tip-toe!).

She has two children, Celia and Patrick and her passions include music, books, cooking and eating – and drifting into daydreams while working out new plots.

Jane Porter is a London-based illustrator and writer with an MA in Illustration and Animation from Kingston University. She is a winner of The London Book Fair Illustration Prize. A former journalist, Jane has illustrated for a variety of publishers as well as organisations like the London Zoo, The National Trust, English Heritage and Kensington Palace among others.

She also runs creative workshops for children and school art projects. Jane's first picture book as author/illustrator, Pink Lion, was published by Walker in 2017. She's also illustrated Wings!, a picture book by Paul Stewart for publication by Otter Barry Books, as well as a series of early readers for Orion.

When she's not working, Jane can often be found out on the river Thames in a coracle, skiff or punt, looking out for passing bats, cormorants and wagtails.

Tara lives in textas with her real life hero and her two little girls. When she isn't writing or reading, Tara can be found failing in the kitchen, watching TV and making resolutions to exercise more, or even a little.
