Lucy Gordon
Newest Release
Christine Sparks was born in England, UK. Her personal life reads like one of her novels. While traveling in Italy, she met a handsome man at a cafe who promptly asked her to dinner. They had a magical evening and a mere 24 hours later, he proposed. Gordon's family thought she was crazy to marry a man she barely knew, but twenty years later they are still married and very much in love.
Living in England, Gordon worked as a journalist at major women's magazine for many years. She was able to travel all over the world while writing features. After quitting journalism to write romance novels, Gordon says her extensive travel and experiences in Italy have influenced her work. She has written many novels for Harlequin Romance with a majority set in Italy. Gordon has won the Romance Writers of America's RITA award twice and been nominated four times. She and her husband return to Italy every year.
