Well, not me actually - not in person. But my name and one of my books was prominently displayed.
There is a programme called The Intern on Channel 4 in the UK where three young hopefuls are given the chance to work in their chosen jobs as interns for a week, and hopefully one of them will end up with a job as a winner. Last night's episode was described like this: Three more young hopefuls are given a week's trial in the job of their dreams at publisher Mills & Boon.
So the programme was set in the Mills & Boon offices in Richmond, with lots of scenes showing the editorial department, lots of insights into the way the editors and marketing work,
The walls of the Richmond offices are decorated with big, blow up copies of book covers from all the lines and all the decades that Mills and Boon have been publishing. And there amongst them, was a poster size copy of the cover I have on here - No Holding Back - which was published in 1995. The 'half a heart' style covers didn't last very long. No one in the bookshops bothered to display them as they were designed - with two books next to each other to make a whole 'heart' when appearing on the shelves! But I have to admit I did like the covers when they were in a range of colours so that the books didn't look quite so regimented and 'all the same'.
You can see the programme replayed here if you are in the right area. I hope it works for you.
Oh - and No Holding Back has been republished in both the Harlequin Treasury and the Mills & Boon Vintage ebook collections. (It's currently only £1.80 or $2.74 right now)

Oops No Holding Back is another one I don't have. I just found The Hostage Bride and loved it. At first it reminded me a bit of The Devil and Miss Jones but it soon went off in an entirely different direction.
