Best-selling romance author Catherine Spencer writes for Harlequin Enterprises Ltd., the world’s largest supplier of romance novels. Strong Alpha heroes, courageous, intelligent heroines, electric sexual tension, hot love scenes, and emotion-packed plots are her trademark, but she is also known for sparkling dialog and a variety of well-researched settings ranging from small town to large city, as well as diverse North American and European locations. In response to reader demand, she is presently concentrating on Mediterranean heroes, particularly tall, dark and handsome Italians with pots of money, but has a wealth of successful North American heroes to her credit also. She is the first Harlequin Presents author to be named a finalist in the Romance Writers of America prestigious short contemporary RITA category. Her titles regularly appear on best-seller lists in North America and Britain. With translations into more than twenty languages, her books are published throughout Europe, Asia, Australia, New Zealand, the Philippines, Central and South America, Scandinavia, South Africa, and the Middle East.
