All about the authorâ¦
Lucy Monroe
Award-winning and bestselling author LUCY MONROE sold her first book in September 2002 to the Harlequin Presents line. That book represented a dream that had been burning in her heart for years: the dream to share her stories with readers who love romance as much as she does. Since then she has sold more than thirty books to three publishers and hit national bestseller lists in the U.S. and England. But what has touched her most deeply since selling that first book are the reader letters she receives. Her most important goal with every book is to touch a readerâs heart and when she hears sheâs done that it makes every night spent writing into the wee hours of morning worth it.
She started reading Harlequin Presents books very young and discovered a heroic type of man between the covers of those booksâan honorable man, capable of faithfulness and sacrifice for the people he loves. Now married to what she terms her âalpha male at the end of a book,â Lucy believes there is a lot more reality to the fantasy stories she writes than most people give credit for. She believes in happy endings that are really marvelous beginnings and thatâs why she writes them. She hopes her books help readers to believe a little, tooâ¦just like romance did for her so many years ago.
She really does love to hear from readers and esponds to every e-mail. You can reach her by e-mailing [email protected].
For my Grandmother Lucille and my Great Auntsâ¦you are women who have inspired me my whole life with your wit, your work ethic, your intelligence, your generosity and your zest for living. I want to thank you for that from the very depths of my heart. I love you all. Blessings, Lucy

ANGELO GORDONâS blue eyes narrowed with interest.
âYouâre sure of this information, amico mio?â he demanded, his American accent spiced with Sicilian overtones that denoted his reaction to the news more strongly than words could have.
Hawk nodded. âPositive. Baron Randall has been keeping tabs on Tara Peters since their affair ended two years ago.â
âHow did you find out?â
âThe owner of the security agency Randall has on retainer talks more than he should after a couple of whiskey sours.â Hawk didnât make those kinds of mistakes, but didnât mind taking advantage when someone else did.
âThatâs convenient.â
âI thought so.â
âOkay. Give me the scoop and donât leave anything out.â
Hawk tossed the file on Angeloâs desk and waited for the tall Sicilian-American to open it.
He pointed to the news story on top that showed his clientâs enemy with his arm around a woman more than a decade his junior. âRandall and Miss Peters met four years ago at a fashion show in New York. He was there with another model, but left with Miss Peters. By all accounts, he swept the young Miss Peters off her feet and into his bed. She gave up modeling and started taking college courses. They were together for eighteen months and broke up when he became engaged to his current wife. Rumor suggests he asked Miss Peters to remain his mistress.â
