Lucy King
Lucy spent her formative years lost in the world of Mills & Boon romance when she really ought to have been paying attention to her teachers. Up against sparkling heroines, gorgeous heroes and the magic of falling in love, trigonometry and absolute ablatives didn’t stand a chance.
But as she couldn’t live in a dream world forever, she eventually acquired a degree in languages and an eclectic collection of jobs. A stroll to the River Thames one Saturday morning led her to her very own hero. The minute she laid eyes on the hunky rower getting out of a boat, clad only in Lycra and carrying a 3-meter oar like it was a toothpick, she knew she’d met the man she was going to marry. Luckily the rower thought the same.
She will always be grateful to whatever it was that made her stop dithering and actually sit down to type chapter one, because dreaming up her own sparkling heroines and gorgeous heroes is pretty much her idea of the perfect job.
Originally a Londoner, Lucy now lives in Spain where she spends much of the time reading, failing to finish cryptic crosswords and trying to convince herself that lying on the beach really is the best way to work.
Obtained from Dear Reader section of "Bought: Damsel In Distress," Lucy King's first novel:
Lucy King obtained her publishing break, when Mills & Boon launched its 'Feel the Heat' competition on iheartpresents.com. Aspiring authors were invited to submit the first chapter and a synopsis of a Modern Heat story. Her mind raced with the possibilities. She sent off her entry and hoped for the best while expecting the worst.
But then, to her utter amazement, she won. The prize was the invaluable advice and support of an editor, and this book was the result. Her first novel. Actually published. She doesn't think the thrill will ever fade.
