Promises, promises...

Maeve Arden had promised to love forever, but the marriage failed. Now, five years later, Maeve has finally found peace-peace she's promised herself to keep. The last thing she wants is a new man in her life. Her joy comes from her work-designing landscape gardens.

When Joan Kilby isn't working on her next romance novel she can often be found sipping a latte at a sidewalk café and indulging in her favourite pastime of people watching. Originally from Vancouver, Canada, Joan now lives in Australia with her husband and three children. She enjoys cooking as a creative outlet and gets some of her best ideas while watching her Jack Russell terrier chase waves at the beach.
