REBECCA RAISIN
is a true bibliophile. This love of books morphed into the desire to write them. Sheâs been widely published in various short-story anthologies, and in fiction magazines, and is now focusing on writing romance. The only downfall about writing about gorgeous men who have brains as well as brawn is falling in love with them â just as well theyâre fictional. Rebecca aims to write characters you can see yourself being friends with. People with big hearts who care about relationships, and, most importantly, believe in true, once-in-a-lifetime love.
For Sophie Hedley because I love you.
