Donna Ashcroft was born in London, England, and grew up in Buckinghamshire. She went to university in Lancashire and, among other things, worked as a copywriter, buyer, waitress, secretary, and marketing manager. Donna is the author of ten books, including The Little Cornish House, Summer in the Scottish Highlands, and Christmas in the Scottish Highlands. She was shortlisted for the RNA Debut Romantic Novel of the Year in 2019. Donna loves a happy ending and is never happier than when she's escaping into a romance novel or movie. When she's not reading or writing she'll probably be found hoovering . . . or negotiating with her two teenagers about who is doing the washing up.
