âOh, you donât have to beg me, Megan,â he murmured softly. âIâm ready and more than willing.â
He lifted her skirt and laid a blatantly possessive palm over one cool inner thigh. Megan squirmed with pleasure. He rippled his thumb over the cool, smooth flesh of her leg and saw her eyes flutter helplessly to a close.
In her fantasy, he made love to her there and then.
Meganâs eyes snapped open to discover that it wasnât fantasy at all. That Dan really was laying her across the desk andâ¦
âDan!â she cried, through parched and excited lips, as countless pieces of paper showered on to the floor like confetti.
âI can see youâre going to have to improve your lovemaking conversational skills, Megan. All you ever say is my name!â
Megan could see the magnificent power of him, as he prepared to possess her. And Megan thought she would truly die if he didnâtâ¦.

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

IT STARTED with a letter.
Megan weighed it in her hand and studied it. A love letter, she thought.
The envelope was pink and had the fat, pampered feel of something which had been taken care ofâand the handwriting was carefulâusing proper ink from a proper pen.
She turned the envelope over and smiled. How absolutely wonderfulâto think that her coolly demanding boss was the recipient of yet another of these extravagant envelopes!
Whoâd have thought it? Mr Cool getting love letters! Why, it almost made him seem human!
Except that Mr Cool hadnât been living up to his name just lately. He had been edgy. Irritable. Uptight.
She just didnât know why.
Megan had been working for Dan McKnight at Softshare for nearly three months nowâand she still kept having to pinch herself. The offices were buzzy, the staff were young and it was almost obscenely well paid.
