His Royal Love-Child (21 page)

He kissed her, and the sound of his brothers’ laughter
faded
as the man she knew would be part of her heart for eternity showed her she would also be part of his.

Award-winning and bestselling author Lucy Monroe lives in the gorgeous Pacific
Northwest
,
surrounded by a plethora of pets and children (her own, the neighbors, her sisters…). She finds inspiration for her stories everywhere as she is an avid people-watcher.
So much so that she disconcerted her husband upon first meeting him when she watched the other dancers as much as she watched him.
He thought she wasn't interested…silly man.

She believes there is no stronger emotion than love; that it truly can overcome pain, past rejection and the challenge of finding happiness despite the hardest things life has to offer. She believes in the victorious conclusions found in today's romance. To her, the passionately sensual romance novel is a beautiful expression of the reality of love, packaged in a fantasy readers can enjoy.

When she's not writing, Lucy likes to read—big surprise, that. She can't tell you the latest show going on television, but she loves romantic movies, action adventure and the theater. She adores her family, and is a
smatterer
when it comes to hobbies…a little of this, a little of that.

Since selling her first book to the Harlequin Presents line in September of 2002, she has sold more than thirty books to three publishers and shows no signs of slowing down in the near future.
