Lisa Ann came to Australia twenty three years ago from Toronto, Canada, the setting for her first novel, Outing of the Heart. She now makes her home in Cairns, Queensland, but has resided in Sydney, Brisbane and Perth. Lisa lives with her partner and their two dogs and three cats. They also enjoy the company of their many birds and fish.

This, her second novel, is dedicated to women everywhere who have been touched by love. Especially she includes those women who have shaped her life. (You know who you are). Through them she has found the ability and determination to put pen to paper. You have her grateful thanks.

Her sincere thanks also go to Bemac Publications for their meticulous editing contribution to this book and the previous work. Their support and input have been greatly appreciated.
