Bella Frances

Unable to sit still without reading, BELLA FRANCES first found romantic fiction at age twelve, in between deadly dull knitting patterns and recipes in the pages of her grandmother's magazines. An obsession was born! But it wasn't until one long, hot summer after completing her first degree in English literature that she fell upon the legends that are Mills and Boon books. She has occasionally lifted her head out of them since to do a range of jobs including barmaid, financial advisor, teacher and of course, writer, as well as to practise (but never perfect) the art of motherhood to two (almost grown up) cherubs.

Her eclectic collection of wonderful friends have provided more than their fair share of inspiration for heroes, heroines and glamorous locations, and though she lives a very energetic life in the UK, frequent commutes across the world for pleasure are strictly in the interest of research!
