About this author

A busy wife and mother of three (2 daughters and the family dog), Donna Alward believes hers is the best job in the world: a combination of stay-at-home mom and romance novelist.

An avid reader since childhood, Donna always made up her own stories. She completed her Arts Degree in English Literature in 1994, but it wasn't until 2001 that she penned her first full-length novel, and found herself hooked on writing romance. In 2006 she sold her first manuscript.

Donna loves being back on the East Coast of Canada after nearly 12 years in Alberta where her Harlequin career began, writing about cowboys and the west. Donna's debut Romance, Hired by the Cowboy, was awarded the Booksellers Best Award in 2008 for Best Traditional Romance.

I love Balogh's writing, and this book was an absolute gem. I didn't get the "twist" until nearly then end - I suspected what it was in about the last 1/4. The twist made this book unique and the characters were lovely. Perfect way to spend a rainy a...more

“All I've ever wanted was a place to belong, and someone to belong to.”
Donna Alward, Hired by the Cowboy

“A partner to share the ups and downs with. Honor and strength, and knowing you're stronger together than apart”
Donna Alward, Hired by the Cowboy

“She unlocked the door, but before she could turn the knob his hand covered hers. She turned and froze.
“Clay,” she warned, but it was too late.
His arm came around her, lifted her feet clear off the floor as he kissed her: hot, demanding, and all encompassing.
His mouth was soft, hot and devastating. Megan let the shock ripple deliciously through her as she clutched his shoulders. There was a small thunk as the house key dropped to the step. Even through the layers of his tuxedo and her coat Meg felt the hardness of his body against her.”
Donna Alward, How a Cowboy Stole Her Heart
