DEAR READER LETTER
By Sharon Kendrick
Dear Reader,
One hundred. Doesnât matter how many times I say it, I still canât believe thatâs how many books Iâve written. Itâs 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 canât wait to share all my stories with you - which are as vivid to me now as when I wrote them.
Thereâs BOUGHT FOR HER HUSBAND, with its outrageously macho Greek hero and A SCANDAL, A SECRET AND A BABY featuring a very sexy Tuscan. THE SHEIKHâS HEIR proved so popular with readers that it spent two weeks on the USA Today charts andâ¦well, I could go on, but Iâll leave you to discover them for yourselves.
I remember the first line of my very first book: âSo youâve come to Australia looking for a husband?â 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 couldnât decide what to write, he said, âWhy donât you go back to where it all started?â
So I did. And thatâs how A ROYAL VOW OF CONVENIENCE was born. It opens in beautiful Queensland and moves to England and New York. Itâs 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⦠Wouldnât you know it?
Iâll 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,

âWhat kind of person are you?â She repeated his question. âHardworking, disciplined, focused. Very successfulâone of the top five bankers in the world, probablyâ¦â
âYou make me sound like a machine,â he said, and a note of something like bitterness crept into his voice.
Kiloranâs voice softened. âYouâre no machine, AdamâI can assure you of that.â She drew a deep breath, because this kind of thing wasnât easy to say, out cold, to a man who technically was your lover but who didnât remember a thing about you. âYouâre a warm, giving lover.â She swallowed. âThe best lover Iâve ever hadâ¦â

ADAM BLACKâS grey eyes glittered like sunlight on a wintry sea. âSo, Vaughn?â he questioned softly.
From his wheelchair, the old man looked up at the tall, dark man who dominated the room. âI hate asking anyone for favours!â he rasped. âEven you.â
âAnd I hate granting them,â said Adam, his hard mouth relaxing by just a fraction as he acknowledged the old manâs indomitable character, recognising in him something of himself. âBut in your case, Iâll make an exception. Whatâs up?â
There was a pause. âYou remember my granddaughter?â Vaughn demanded. âKiloran? Sheâs been running the businessâonly sheâs come up against problems. Big problems.â
Kiloran? Adam let his memory stray back, then back further still, and a fleeting image of a green-eyed girl in pigtails flitted in and out of his mind. A little princess of a girl, despite the pigtails and the grubby jeans. But the Laceys had been rich, as rich as Adam had been poorâand the power of money had clung to her like a second skin.
