She was lucky enough to do a stint working on the mega yachts in the Mediterranean, sailed the Atlantic and finally found herself in the beautiful Whitsundays, in North Queensland, Australia.
Her working career has been varied, from cleaning bars to waitressing (which she was particularly bad at) through to marketing and business development. Due to her unique setting, she has also become rather proficient at shooing very big spiders out of the house without squealing, bottle feeding orphaned baby wallabies, wrangling the odd snake or two, and when pressed, wielding a power sander like a woman possessed.
An avid reader of most genres, her all-time favourites have always been historical romance, with their dreamy settings, witty banter, sexy scenes and happily ever after.
After a lifetime of daydreaming about becoming an author, she finally plonked her bum on a chair and started to write … and she has no intention of ever stopping.
The Duke with No Smile is Claire's first book in the Regency Romance Series - THE UNOBTAINABLES
