Anna drew a deep breath.
‘But Todd, why move?’ she asked him plaintively. ‘I mean, we’re happy here. Aren’t we?’
He didn’t reply at first. Anna noticed him hesitate for the second time, and the subsequent silence filled the room like an unwelcome blanket of smoke.
‘Todd?’ Anna turned to look at him, her face suddenly pale and troubled. ‘Are you trying to tell me you aren’t happy?’
He shook his dark head. ‘Sweetheart—it isn’t quite as simple as that.’
One hundred. Doesn’t matter how many times I say it, I still can’t believe that’s how many books I’ve written. It’s a fabulous feeling but more fabulous still is the news that Mills & Boon are issuing every single one of my backlist as digital titles. Wow. I can’t wait to share all my stories with you - which are as vivid to me now as when I wrote them.
There’s BOUGHT FOR HER HUSBAND, with its outrageously macho Greek hero and A SCANDAL, A SECRET AND A BABY featuring a very sexy Tuscan. THE SHEIKH’S HEIR proved so popular with readers that it spent two weeks on the USA Today charts and…well, I could go on, but I’ll leave you to discover them for yourselves.
I remember the first line of my very first book: “So you’ve come to Australia looking for a husband?” Actually, the heroine had gone to Australia escape men, but guess what? She found a husband all the same! The man who inspired that book rang me up recently and when I told him I was beginning my 100th story and couldn’t decide what to write, he said, “Why don’t you go back to where it all started?”
So I did. And that’s how A ROYAL VOW OF CONVENIENCE was born. It opens in beautiful Queensland and moves to England and New York. It’s about a runaway princess and the enigmatic billionaire who is infuriated by her, yet who winds up rescuing her. But then, she goes and rescues him… Wouldn’t you know it?
I’ll end by saying how very grateful I am to have a career I love, and to thank each and every one of you who has supported me along the way. You really are very dear readers.
Love,

EPILOGUE
TODD TRAVERS removed a ballet shoe from behind the teapot, and said something rather uncomplimentary about it beneath his breath. He briefly contemplated hurling it to the other side of the bright, airy kitchen, but resisted. It would probably disappear for ever in this noisy, chaotic home of his, and he could just imagine the ensuing panic if that should happen!
‘Don’t those girls ever put anything away?’ he demanded, in a voice so rich and deep and spine-tinglingly sexy that most people meeting him for the first time laboured under the illusion that he was a Shakespearean actor, instead of a businessman with one of the most respected portfolios in London!
Anna lifted her head to look at her husband. She was sitting on the floor, polishing three sets of shoes, and her neck was beginning to ache. Meanwhile, Todd had broken the habit of a lifetime and come home from work unexpectedly early today. And still hadn’t told her why!
Her deep blue eyes were dreamy and faraway, but they instantly focused with pleasure on the hard symmetry of her husband’s features. Unconsciously, her heart picked up speed as she let her eyes drift adoringly over him, then sighed.
Todd was one of those men who were often described as being too good-looking for their own good—though Anna certainly didn’t have any complaints in that department! Tall and fit—with strong, muscular thighs and a lean, hard body—he had
