Kate Walker was born in Nottinghamshire, England, and was the middle child in a family of girls. She grew up in a home where books were vitally important, and she read anything she could get her hands on. Even before she could write she was making up stories. She can't remember a time when she wasn't scribbling away at something.
But everyone told her that she would never make a living as a writer, so she decided that if she couldn't write books, at least she could work with them by becoming a librarian.
It was at the University of Wales, Aberystwyth, that she met her husband, who was also studying at the college. They married and eventually moved to Lincolnshire, where she worked as a children's librarian until her son was born.
After three years of being a full-time housewife and mother, she was ready for a new challenge, but needed something she could do at home, so she turned to her old love of writing. The first two novels she sent off to Harlequin were rejected but the third attempt was successful. She can still remember the moment that a letter of acceptance arrived instead of the rejection slip she had been dreading. But the moment she really realized she was a published writer was when copies of her first book, THE CHALK LINE, arrived just in time to be one of her best Christmas presents ever.
Kate is often asked if she's a romantic person because she writes romances. Her answer is that if being romantic means caring about other people enough to make that extra-special effort for them, then, yes, she is.
Kate loves to hear from her fans. You can contact her through her website or Email her directly.
SICILIAN HUSBAND, BLACKMAILED BRIDE

Harlequin Presents
April 2007
ISBN: 0373126220
Possessed by his passion!
Dark, proud and sinfully gorgeous, Guido Corsentino is determined to reclaim his wife. Outwardly, Amber is perfect and untouchable - but Guido knows the passionate woman inside. One kiss, and he's certain she'll give him whatever he demands . . .
But Guido is also certain of something else: Amber ran away from him once—so she won't be given the opportunity to do so again. He'll protect her from the consequences of her actions . . . in his bed!
Kate Walker has a knack for weaving stories that really hit home with deep emotion and characters who make it so easy to fall in love with them. Her newest release, SICILIAN HUSBAND, BLACKMAILED BRIDE is another such novel. Rich in romance and emotional intensity, Guido and Amber's story is complex and engaging and very difficult to put down once you start reading.
The pacing is great and the interaction between the characters seems to come across without effort. While the plot line may not be original, it still boasts enough uniqueness to snag the attention and keeps one entertained through to the end...
Walker tugs at the heartstrings with this novel and had me reaching for that darn box of tissues again but as always, the adventure and the passionate romance between the pages of this book make it deliciously unforgettable. Highly recommended.
THE ITALIAN'S FORCED BRIDE

Harlequin Presents
February 2007
ISBN: 0373126050
“As long as I want you, you stay — and you only leave when I give you permission to go”
Alice Howard spent six passionate months as Domenico Parrisi’s mistress. But she knew he would never love her back and would soon discard her — so she left him.
But now Domenico wants her back in his bed, and his terms of possession are the same as before — until he makes a discovery that changes everything: Alice is carrying his child.
Kate Walker's latest release, THE ITALIAN'S FORCED BRIDE shows very clearly the talent of weaving romances full of heartfelt emotion is embedded deeply in this author's soul. I loved Alice and Domenico's story. It's well-crafted, expertly narrated and really tugs at the heartstrings.
This book has everything readers of Harlequin Presents have come to expect from Walker's novels. Strong emotional conflict, a plot that rocks the soul and a passionate intensity that packs a strong punch.
Just one word of advice though - keep a box of tissues handy for this one. You may shed some tears, but you'll love every single minute of it.
