Sean When a ‘package’ is left for me at Grade A’s reception, I’m stunned to find it’s a baby along with a note suggesting that apparently, I’m the father and that her mother’s in danger. But who and where is the woman who birthed her? My employers, Grade A, support my need to find her, and for some reason, Ben teams me up with Vanessa. It will be her first time investigating in the field and I know she isn’t prepared to be thrown into something like this. Vanessa I’ve always fancied Sean, well, who wouldn’t? But when I discover he’s fathered a child and hasn’t a clue with whom, it brings home to me just the kind of man he is. Despite my longings, he’s never going to change, is he? So when Ben offers me my first job out of the office, I’m not happy being paired with Sean, I don’t do babies, and the last thing I want is to spend time close to one. But as I join him on his search I grow to see the man underneath the shallow exterior and find it gets harder to resist my attraction to him. And when his baby is kidnapped, I need to find out if I can step up and put my life on the line.

Manda’s life's always seemed a bit weird, starting with a childhood that even today she’s still trying to make sense of, then losing her parents in the late teens. Going from the tragic to the bizarre, who else could be unlucky enough to have had two car accidents, neither her fault, one involving a nun, and another involving a police woman? There isn’t enough space to list everything that’s happened to Manda, or what she’s learned from it. But by using the rich fabric of her personal life, psychology degree, varied work experiences, and amazing characters she’s met, Manda is able to populate her books with believable in-depth characters and enjoys pitting them against situations which challenge them. Her books are full of suspense, twists and turns and the unexpected. Manda lives in the beautiful countryside of Essex in the UK, the area’s claim to fame being the Wilkin’s Jam Factory at nearby Tiptree. She can usually find jars of jam which remind her of home wherever she goes. As well as writing books and reading, Manda loves walking her dogs and keeping fit. She lives with her husband of over 30 years, who, along with her son, is her greatest fan and supporter. Manda is thankful that one of the more unusual, and at the time unpleasant, turns her life took, now enables her to spend her time writing. Confirming, in her view, every cloud has a silver lining.
