About the Authors
Jess Michaels’ dreams of becoming a writer began in grade school. The voices in her head started muttering then and have muttered ever since, even when she tried to ignore them. Eventually, her husband encouraged her to listen to those characters that kept harassing her in her sleep and she has been writing ever since.
Leda Swann is a senior executive in a large corporation, the mother of four young children, and partner of a wonderful man. She likes scuba diving, swimming, and any other sport that involves getting cold and wet on a regular basis. She is also the author of outrageously sexy romances, keeps fur-lined handcuffs in her bedside drawers, and fights hard to remember to remove the silk ties off her bed head whenever her parents come to visit.
Julia Templeton has written contemporary, historical and time-travel romances for magazines and book publishers. Aside from her passion for writing, she also enjoys reading, listening to music, collecting research books, traveling and spending time with family.
