Taming the Playboy

by Susan Napier, Anne Weale, Catherine George

Reasons of the Heart by Susan Napier
The cabin was to be a sanctuary
The one place in New Zealand for her to contemplate the drastic changes she was planning in her life. But Francesca Lewis found it already occupied. Ross Tarrant, an uncomfortable reminder of her naive adolescent days, was firmly and legitimately ensconced.
She had outgrown the embarrassing memories but had never forgotten him, and found he still left her light-headed and breathless.
Ross saw Francesca as a challenge, the old chemistry between them still strong. Yet beneath the mature, successful facade, he exposed the same insecure, vulnerable girl shed once been.

Handsome is as handsome does...
When Kate Poole tracked down the estranged grandson of her beloved employer, she little guessed the consequences her actions would bring. A renowned playboy, Xan Walcott was unlike any man she had ever known - and decidedly more dangerous! He would use and abandon her without hesitation.
Though necessity had forced her to work alongside Xan in Crete, Kate was hoping her own practical nature would save her from falling for Xan's legendary charm.

Sensible Lowri had no intention of succumbing to Adam Hawkridge's careless charm. But Adam persisted, Lowri resisted - and gave in.

Two years later, and Lowri was looking forward to spending Christmas with her pride and joy - little Rhosyn. But the festive season would bring with it a series of surprises and shocks - not least that Adam Hawkridge was about to discover the existence of his daughter!

Perhaps being born on Valentine’s Day was an omen that Susan Napier would become a romance writer. This New Zealand author has written over 30 Mills & Boon category romances since 1984. Napier and her husband Tony Potter met when they both worked at the Auckland Star newspaper. After they married, she left the newspaper to work for a film company where she learned the art of dialogue. After the birth of her sons, Simon and Ben, she was a freelance scriptwriter for documentaries. It was soon after that she decided to try her hand at writing the romance fiction she dearly loved.

She and her husband still live in the home they bought in Auckland shortly after their marriage.
