About the Authors

From as soon as MELANIE MILBURNEcould pick up a pen she knew she wanted to write. It was when she picked up her first Mills and Boon at seventeen that she realised she wanted to write romance. Distracted for a few years by meeting and marrying her own handsome hero, surgeon husband Steve and having two boys, plus completing a Masters of Education and becoming a nationally ranked athlete (masters swimming) she decided to write. In 2008 she won the Australian Readers Association’ most popular category/series romance and in 2011 she won the prestigious Romance Writers of Australia R*BY award.

RACHEL BAILEYdeveloped a serious book addiction at a young age (via Peter Rabbit and Jemima Puddleduck) and has never recovered. Just how she likes it.

She lives on a piece of paradise on Australia’s Sunshine Coast with her hero and four dogs.

Rachel would love to hear from you and can be contacted through her website, www.rachelbailey.com.

MARGARET WAYwas born and raised in the subtropical river city of Brisbane, capital of Queensland, the Sunshine State. A conservatorium trained pianist, teacher, accompanist and vocal coach, she found her musical career came to an unexpected end when she took up writing—initially as a fun thing to do. She currently lives in a harbourside apartment at beautiful Raby Bay, a thirty-minute drive from the state capital.
