Caitlin Crews discovered her first romance novel at the age of twelve and has since conducted a life-long love affair with romance novels, many of which she insists on keeping near her at all times. She currently lives in the Pacific Northwest, with her animator/comic book artist husband and their menagerie of ridiculous animals.

Annie has devoted her life to an intensive study of charismatic heroes who cause the best kind of trouble in the lives of their heroines. As a sideline she researches locations for romance, from vibrant cities to desert encampments and fairytale castles. Annie lives in eastern Australia with her hero husband, between sandy beaches and gorgeous wine country. She finds writing the perfect excuse to postpone housework.

Heidi Rice was born and bred and still lives in London, England. She has two boys who love to bicker, a wonderful husband who, luckily for everyone, has the patience of Job and a supportive and ever-growing British/French/Irish/American family. She also has two hamsters, one of whom looks suspiciously like a rat.

As much as Heidi adores "the Big Smoke", she also loves America and every two years or so she and her best friend Catri leave hubby and kids behind and Thelma and Louise it across the States for a couple of weeks (although they always leave out the driving-off-a-cliff bit). Some of their favorite haunts so far have included Monument Valley, the Nantahala Forest in North Carolina, St. Michls in Maryland, Marfa in Texas and the Big Easy itself, New Orleans-but they're always on the lookout for new places to explore.

Heidi's been a film buff since her early teens and a romance junkie for almost as long. She indulged her first love by being a film reviewer for the last ten years for the British newspaper The Daily Mail and its Irish sister paper. Some might call this a dream job-until they had to watch five-hundred Jean-Claude Van Damme films and find something new to say about each one. So a few years ago Heidi decided to pursue a new dream job, writing romance.

Discovering the fantastic sisterhood of romance writers (both published and unpublished) in Britain, Australia and America made it a wild and wonderful journey to achieve her dream and become a published Harlequin novelist. That said, she still finds time to watch the odd movie-preferably ones with Johnny Depp. She loves to hear from her readers.

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 and two kids. When she's not torturing alpha males and their gutsy heroines, she can be found drinking chocolate martinis, reading anything she can lay her hands on, wasting time on social media, or being forced to go mountain biking with her husband.
