WELCOME heroines of the world, and heroes too, if you dare!

Hello, I'm Anna and I write passionate novels for romantic people, or should that be romantic novels for passionate people?

Either way, I write for Mills and Boon Modern Heat, which transforms in America to Harlequin Presents. In Aus and NZ our books undergo a cover change to be called Sexy Sensations.

Wedding Night with a Stranger

Here it is! My latest, and isn't the cover pretty? It shows Sebastian Nikosto, a rather stern, brooding Greek Australian, on the shores of Sydney Harbour with Ariadne Giorgias, his sad, spoiled and very reluctant mail-order bride who is fresh off the plane from Naxos.

How Ariadne came to be in this intriguing situation with the gorgeous Greek will have to remain a secret until April.

At the Boss's Beck and Call

Ah, there's Lara Meadows on the steps of Sydney Opera House. That beautiful man she's kissing is Alessandro Vincenti, Marchese d'Isole Veneziane Minori, Marquis of the Minor Venetian Isles.

Lara has kissed Alessandro before. Indeed, their affair was hot and strong. In fact Lara's insatiable passion for the rich Venetian created some long-term consequences that changed her life. Consequences she isn't so anxious to share now with the gorgeous globe-trotting guy.

Trouble is, the moment Lara lays eyes on her wicked seducer, the old black magic starts its sizzle and threatens to blow her off-course all over again! Should a heroine resist?

Hardcover edition available February 2010. Purchase from www.mills&boon.co.uk and www.amazon.co.uk

I am thrilled to report that Cataromance have awarded Alessandro's and Lara's story a rare and precious four and a half stars! Here's some of what Julie Bonello has to say.

Liberally spiced with wonderful characterization, wicked repartee, spicy love scenes, brilliant dialogue and a believable conflict, At the Boss’s Beck and Call is a dazzling tale of secrets, new beginnings and passionate romance that will keep you riveted from the first page till the last and hold you in thrall until the final full stop!
Fast-paced, sassy and romantic, At the Boss’s Beck and Call is a fabulous romance you just cannot miss!

'At the Boss's Beck and Call' by Anna Cleary is 'An affair to Remember' and 'Sleepless in Seattle' all rolled into one spectacular and emotional romance. Marilyn Shoemaker
