Expecting A Fortune

By Jan Colley

Five months ago, Skylar Fortune had slept with the man of her dreams. Now, worldly horseman Zack Manning had returned and she was forced to tell him she was expecting his baby. Outraged at being kept in the dark, the domineering New Zealander demanded marriage.

His smouldering charm wooed the pregnant plain–Jane back into his bed, but Skylar wasn't about to let him dictate her future. Despite everything, their growing love for their tiny miracle bonded them together... that is until Zack's notorious past exposed his true motives!

Jan Colley

Jan Colley lives in the South Island of New Zealand with her real-life hero, firefighter Les, and two lovely cats. After years traveling the globe and Jan's eight-year stint as a customs officer, the pair set up a backpacker hostel called Vagabond. Running her own business, she discovered the meaning of the word "busy" and began reading romance to relax. In 2002, they sold the hostel and Jan decided to take two months and write a book. Two months turned into a year. She did a Kara writing course with Daphne Clair and Robyn Donald, and finaled in the Clendon Award, garnering the Readers Choice. That book, Vagabond Eyes, was ultimately rejected. Two completed manuscripts later, she heard the words she had heard in her head a hundred times: "Jan? It's Melissa Jeglinski here. We'd like to buy your book." Trophy Wives was released in December 2005 under the Desire imprint. Jan now works part-time and dedicates the rest to writing and neglecting her family and friends, although she does find time to watch rugby whenever there is a game on. Jan would be tickled pink to hear from readers. You can contact her at [e-mail].
