Thank you Catherine McLean for being my first fresh-eyed beta-reader and putting up with my slight hysterics at putting it into reader hands. Thank you to all my friends who read it. Many thanks go to Toni Jordan, who took me aside after our first class together, looked me in the eye and said, “You know this is good, right?” You came along just when I had lost confidence, and your encouragement made a world of difference to me.
Lastly thank to my fabulous writers group, even though we drink wine more often than we workshop. I love sharing this journey with you guys. And thank you to the Melbourne Romance Writers Guild, who encouraged me to enter the Valerie Parv Award, and rewarded all my achievements with chocolate.
About the Author
Anna Cowan has been writing since she was eight years old and her heroine thought the likeliest place to buy a horse was the pet shop. She lives in Melbourne with her Scottish husband. They were married on the shores of Loch Lomond, which was just as romantic as it sounds.
Anna’s favourite characters are the kind who seduce her intellect and cut themselves right to the bone emotionally. Now that her cross-dressing Duke and the incomparable Katherine are out in the world, she’s turning her mind to her next heroine: a murderous debt-collector . . .
