Avril Tremayne took the circuitous route to becoming a writer, via careers in nursing, teaching, public relations and corporate affairs most recently in global aviation.

She hung up her corporate hat in 2013, after returning to her home city of Sydney, Australia, after a three year stint in the Middle East, and turned her mind to becoming a full time author.

She’s been writing sexy, funny, contemporary romance ever since. When she's not reading or writing, Avril can generally be found dining to excess, drinking wine, talking about travel, and obsessing over shoes.

Clare Connelly was raised in small-town Australia among a family of avid readers. She spent much of her childhood up a tree, Mills & Boon book in hand. Clare is married to her own real-life hero and they live 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. She has a penchant for French food and ice-cold champagne, and Mills & Boon novels continue to be her favourite ever books. Writing for MIlls & Boon is a long-held dream.
