Christmas Seduction/Unwrapping His New York Innocent/Claiming His Christmas Wife/The Christmas She Married The Playboy

About the Author

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to pursue a new dream job, writing romance.Discovering the fantastic sisterhood of romance writers (both published and unpublished) in Britain, Australia and America made it a wild and wonderful journey to achieve her dream and become a published Harlequin novelist.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. When Canadian Dani Collins found romance novels in high school she immediately wondered how one trained for such an awesome job. She began writing, trying various genres, but always came back to her first love, Harlequin Presents. Often distracted by family and "real" jobs, she continued writing, inspired by the romance message that if you hang in there you'll reach a happy ending. In May of 2012, Harlequin offered to buy her manuscript in a two-book deal. She is living happily ever after. Louise Fuller was a tomboy who hated pink and always wanted to be the prince. Not the princess! Now she enjoys creating heroines who aren’t pretty pushovers but strong, believable women. Before writing for Mills and Boon, she studied literature and philosophy at university and then worked as a reporter on her local newspaper. She lives in Tunbridge Wells with her impossibly handsome husband, Patrick and their six children.
