Writing romantic suspense is no mystery for Harlequin Intrigue author, Joyce Sullivan. She graduated from California State University, Long Beach, with a bachelor’s degree in Criminal Justice and worked as a private investigator in British Columbia before trying her hand at freelance journalism and writing romance.

She made her first sale to the Harlequin Intrigue line in 1995. The Harlequin Intrigue line features taut edge-of-the-seat contemporary romantic suspense tales of danger and desire. Whether a murder mystery, psychological suspense thriller or woman in jeopardy, lives are always on the line . . . and so are hearts!

Joyce loves observing people and finding overlooked details about everyday life that make unique clues in her books. Her previous six books with the Intrigue line have all been set in Canada. Her first series with Intrigue, the Collingwood Heirs, debuts in August 2003, and is set in the Thousand Islands region of the St. Lawrence Seaway.

A native Californian, Joyce emigrated to Canada for love. She and her husband have two children and make their home in Western Quebec.
