Cursed with a poor sense of direction and a propensity to read, Annie Claydon spent much of her childhood lost in books. A degree in English Literature followed by a career in computing didn't lead directly to her perfect job-writing romance for Mills & Boon-but she has no regrets in taking the scenic route. She lives in London: a city where getting lost can be a joy.

Ann McIntosh was born in the tropics, lived in the frozen north for a number of years, and now resides in sunny central Florida with her husband. She's a proud mama to three grown children, loves tea, crafting, animals (except reptiles!), bacon and the ocean. She believes in the power of romance to heal, inspire, and provide hope in our complex world.
