Christina Brooke is a former lawyer who staged a brilliant escape from the corporate world and landed squarely in Regency England.
She was the first Australian to win the Romance Writers of America’s Golden Heart Award for her first published novel and was nominated for a RITA award for her second historical romance, writing as Christine Wells. Her books have also been nominated for RT’s Reviewer’s Choice Award, Bookseller’s Best and the Australian Romantic Book of the Year Award.
Christina makes her home in sunny Queensland, Australia with her husband, two small boys and one enormous girl dog called Monty. Monty is the inspiration for Ophelia, the Great Dane in the Ministry of Marriage series. However, the resemblance of any human characters to real life people is purely accidental. Christina loves to travel, particularly to England for research and most especially to see her dear friends and colleagues in the United States. She also loves walking, window shopping for antiques and enjoying good food, good wine and good times with her friends and family.
Christina loves to hear from readers so please join her on facebook, twitter or goodreads or drop her an email via her contact page.

FAQ
You have sold a series to St. Martin’s Press. Can each book be read as a stand-alone novel? Or can the reader rather expect an ongoing storyline (even if secondary to the main plot) that will conclude in the last installment?
Each book stands alone in this series, so you can pick them up in any order and you won’t be confused. However, it is best to start at HEIRESS IN LOVE.
In what order should I read your books?
- HEIRESS IN LOVE — Jane’s story (June 28, 2011)
- MAD ABOUT THE EARL — Rosamund’s story (Release date TBA)
- A DUCHESS TO REMEMBER — Cecily’s story (Release date TBA)
