- Short biography
- 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 Silhouette 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, be it her team of champs, Canterbury, or the All Blacks.

Despite the decades-old feud between their fathers, socialite Jordan Lake and CEO Nick Thorne are in the midst of an illicit affair. Neither Jordan nor Nick is interested in taking their no-strings-attached sexual relationship to the next level ... or are they?
While totally predictable, Nick and Jordan's romance is scorching hot and their obvious love for one another keeps the pages turning. Their characters are fleshed out well and the twists and turns in their relationship are compelling.
The family feud trope, on the other hand, is not as well developed, and given the premise of the storyline, one would expect it to play a more significant role in the conflict.
Overall, an engaging read and I look forward to reading the 2nd part of the duet focusing on Nick's assistant, Jasmine, and his brother, Adam.… (more)
