1. How did you pick the title for your books?

Titles for Harlequin Presents are selected by the editorial team – and so far they have come up with much better ones than I have!

2. How did you choose the setting for your books?

I had lots of fun making up my own setting for this book. Barazbin is a totally fictional kingdom.

3. How did you come up with the names for your heroes and heroines?

I spent time scrolling through name websites on the internet, matching names and meanings to the image I had of my characters.

4. What makes your heroes irresistible?

My heroes are tall, dark and handsome, but what makes them irresistible to me is the vulnerability they discover when they meet my heroines and the journey they go on to get what they want – even if they don’t initially know what that is!

5. Share some random facts about yourself...

I have the perfect birthday for a romance writer – Valentine’s Day.

6. Your advice to new writers

Write something each day, even if it’s just a paragraph or two and never give up on your dreams. I almost did!

Tell us about your book...

Claimed by the Sheikh

BANISHED!

Princess Amber’s arranged marriage to Prince Kazim Al-Amed of Barazbin was a dream come true – for her, at least! But then their wedding night went spectacularly wrong, and a furious Kazim banished Amber from his kingdom and his life...

HUNTED!

Now, with his country in turmoil, Kazim must prove his ability to rule and provide an heir for his people. But to do so he’ll need to track down his princess.

CLAIMED!

Amber has always threatened Kazim’s tightly held control. Yet if he is to save his nation – and his marriage – he must finally make the ultimate claim... on his wife!
