âI want to make love to you.â
Her mouth fell open. âMarcus!â
He shook his head. "You should never have come back if you didnât want this to happen,â he told her softly. "Nine years ago we blew everythingâand I want the chance to put it right.â
âOh. I see. Was I the one lover who didnât give you full marks for performance? Is that what this is all about?â
âNo. Itâs about getting rid of a desire that isnât going to go away. Look me in the eye, Donna, and tell me truthfully that you donât want me just as badly. Do that and Iâll go away and leave you alone.â
She couldnât.
He whispered, âGive in to what you really want to do. Kiss me.â

The Mistress Deal by Sandra Field
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 to 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 100>th 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,
Sharon xxx

To Judy and Rob Hutson
with thanks for their vision and imagination.
THE lawyer was slick and smooth and handsomeâwith the most immaculately manicured hands that Donna had ever seen.
âOkay, Donna, if youâd like to sign just there.â He jabbed a near-perfect fingernail onto the contract. âSee? Right there.â
Donna was tempted to giggle. âYou mean where your secretary has helpfully drawn a little cross?â
âAh, yes. Sorry,â he amended quickly. âI didnât mean to patronise you.â
The tension of the last few weeks dissolved. âDonât worry. You werenât.â She signed her name with a flourish. âIâm just glad itâs all over.â
Tony Paxman did not look as though he echoed her sentiments. âI shall miss seeing you!â he sighed. âStill, the premises are yours and youâve got your liquour licence. Now itâs over to you. Congratulations, Donna!â He held his hand out. âAnd I wish you every success for the future!â
âThank you,â said Donna, hoping she didnât sound smug. Or triumphant. Because she knew she should be neither. She was just luckyâthough some people said there was no such thing, that you made your own luck in life.
