  “I’m so sorry,” she whispered, her voice a rasp in her throat.

  “Oh God, don’t be.” He begged, taking her hand, letting the skirt fall.

  Acknowledgements

  Literally dozens of fabulous people have put up with me writing this book. I would like to thank you all, especially my fantastic family, the folks, the sis, the other half and one’s aunts Tricia Broome and Alice Hall; those dear friends and colleagues who have listened, trying not to yawn, for your unlimited patience, encouragement and support. Far too many to mention but you know who you are.

  A sincere and heartfelt thanks to those who helped make it physically happen...Jan Brigden, Julie Cohen, Rebecca Connell, Helen Corner and the participants in the 2010 Cornerstones Writing Women’s Commercial Fiction Course, Amanda Grange, Sue Peebles and the wonderful writers at the Arvon Centre in Inverness, June Tate, Michelle Tayton, Natalie Thew and not forgetting David Burton, a far from token male!

  My very special friends and colleagues in the Romantic Novelists’ Association, and particularly the Leicester Chapter, including Jean Chapman, Lynda Dunwell, Margaret Kaine, Cathy Mansell, Katharine Garbera and Alex Gutteridge, they are one of the most amazing groups of talented and feisty females I have ever encountered.

  And last but not least, the New Romantics4,

  Mags Cullingford, June Kearns and Lizzie Lamb

  – a force to be reckoned with!

  About the Author

  Adrienne Vaughan has been making up stories since she could speak; primarily to entertain her sister Reta, who from a very early age never allowed a plot or character to be repeated – tough audience. As soon as she could pick up a pen, she started writing them down. It was no surprise she wanted to be a journalist; ideally, the editor of a glossy music and fashion magazine, so she could meet and marry a pop star – some of that came true – and in common with so many, still holds the burning ambition to be a ‘Bond Girl’!

  She now runs a busy PR practice and writes poems, short stories and ideas for books, in her spare time. She is a member of the Romantic Novelists’ Association and a founder member of the indie publishing group The New Romantics4.

  Adrienne lives in Leicestershire with her husband, two cocker spaniels and a retired dressage horse called Marco. The Hollow Heart is her debut novel. The sequel, A Change of Heart
