Amanda Browning began writing romances when she left her job at the library and wondered what to do next. She remembered a colleague once told her to write a romance, and went for it. What is left of her spare time is spent doing gardening and counted cross-stitch, and she really enjoys the designs based on the works of Marty Bell. Amanda is happily single and lives in the old family home on the borders of Essex, England.

Deception leads to seduction. Rachel Shaw had been in love with Nathan Wade for two years, but, despite her protestations of innocence, she knew he was convinced that she was the kind of woman he'd always despised: a scheming, cold-hearted gold-digger. Rachel was determined to change Nathan's mind about her -- and the perfect opportunity had just arrived. Rachel's grandfather, also Nathan's business partner, had pleaded with them to undertake a most daring deception -- and that meant a weekend in each other's company and sharing a bedroom.
