I’m a bestselling author of romantic fiction and I come from Somerset, England. While I was born a writer, I’m a cook and gardener by inclination so my hobbies often feature in my work. The greatest love of my life is my family, of course; I met my husband on a blind date and we now have two children, a cat and varying amounts of livestock. After moving to the wilds of rural Gloucestershire, I produced many non-fiction articles and photographs for national magazines, mainly about life in the countryside.

In 1990 my first full length novel, Knight’s Pawn, was published by Harlequin Mills and Boon under the pen name Polly Forrester. During a career break to raise my family, I wrote award-winning short stories. Then in 2007 my first Mills and Boon Modern Romance, The Italian Billionaire’s Virgin, was published. Since then, my books have appeared in best seller lists all over the world.

As well as romantic conflict, I like my books to capture the countryside in all its moods. Reading is my idea of luxury - it’s the chance to escape from the pressures of everyday life for a while.
