KATE BATEMAN (also writing as K. C. Bateman) is a bestselling author of historical romances, including her RITA(R)-nominated Renaissance romp, The Devil to Pay, the Ruthless Rivals series A Reckless Match, A Daring Pursuit, and A Wicked Game, the Bow Street Bachelors series This Earl of Mine, To Catch an Earl, and The Princess and the Rogue, along with the novels in the Secrets & Spies series To Steal a Heart, A Raven's Heart, and A Counterfeit Heart.
