Jilly du Plessis is a firm believer in happily-ever-afters. When she's not writing sweet romantic comedies, she's reading, spending quality time with family and trying not to kill her house plants. She holds a postgraduate degree in English. At various times in her life Jilly has called America, Canada, and South Africa home. She lives with her husband, two daughters, five crazy guinea fowl, and not enough bookshelves.
