It's been an exciting couple of weeks.  First, Marriage at the Millionaire's Command  was published in the US in June - my first American release, and it made it to 4th place on the Waldenbooks Best Sellers list!  In the UK and Australia it was published as One Night before Marriage and I've just heard it's a finalist in the Romance Writers of Australia's R*BY Award for Romantic Book of the Year 2008 in the short category section.

I grew up with a love of fairy tales: my favorite was The Little Mermaid.  I was entranced with the idea that love could be such a powerful motivator that the heroine would give up her life for it.  Then there’s Tennyson’s Lady of Shalott, Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet, and in the music and movie world there’s Carousel, Phantom of the Opera and Titanic. Okay, there are some heroes too - (Who couldn’t be moved by Leonardo?)

Are you noticing a trend here?  I love nothing better than a good weepie.

Being accepted by Mills & Boon is a long held ambition and has opened up a new career for me.  It took me six full novels and eight years to get it right.   To find out who I am and how I got there click on About Anne.

Marriage at the Millionaire's Command received a four star rating from Romantic Times. "Marriage at the Millionaire's Command is a terrific story. Anne Oliver has created a winner in Ben, the hot and sexy, but equally complex, hero."  And a 4 ½ star from Cataromance.  "Sheryl says "Ms. Oliver pens a wonderful contemporary romance that gives two people a chance of a lifetime while also writing a story that combines tragedy and happiness; this book is well worth the read."  Go read an excerpt...
