Sir Douglas Drury was a spy during the Napoleonic war and has the scars, and enemies, to show for it. When he is set upon in a London street, he finds it hard to be grateful because his rescuer is not only a woman, but French into the bargain!
Juliette Bergerine has learned to keep herself safe by avoiding undue attention, but now her life is also in danger and, together, she and Drury must take refuge in a mansion in Mayfair. There, this broodingly cynical man proves an irresistible temptation....
She has also been an award-winning public speaker, a synchronized swimmer, an archer, and studied fencing and ballroom dancing, as well as being a wife and mom. How did Margaret start writing? She was home with two small children, and her friend Cheryl, who was apparently born clutching a romance novel, gave her The Wolf and the Dove by Kathleen Woodiwiss. Margaret loved it. It was like the romantic adventures she'd enjoyed growing up-- albeit much sexier. Then she thought: Wouldn't it be fun to write a story like that? Margaret took a course in popular fiction writing at the University of Toronto, and through that, found Romance Writers of America.
Three years later, in 1991, she sold her first historical romance and the premiere book of her Warrior Series, A Warrior's Heart, to the Harlequin Historical series. Her books have since been published in France, Italy, Germany, Great Britain, Belgium, Switzerland, Brazil, Korea, Japan, Sweden, the Netherlands, Russia, Poland and Czechoslovakia.
One of her books, The Viking, won an award as Best Foreign Historical from Affaire de Coeur and two of her heroes have received K.I.S.S. (Knights In Shining Silver) Awards from Romantic Times. She was a Romantic Times finalist for Career Achievement in Medieval Historical Romance. Her most recent release, The Unwilling Bride, recently appeared on the USA TODAY Bestseller List.
Margaret currently lives in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, with her husband of over twenty years, two children and three cats.
