About the author

Cassie Connor loves capsule wardrobes, packs light, enjoys weekending in Nice and takes her own champagne flute wherever she goes. She's also got a history degree and has never finished War and Peace. When it comes to dating, her motto is CBA �" Can't Be Arsed �" and has resorted to writing and inventing her own men because fictional heroes are always so much better. Hudson in her debut novel, Under Contract, proves the point perfectly.
