For Jill Brager, who was "hooked on romances long before I met Kathryn Falk in 1983," romantic novels have always served as a tonic. "Reading a book after a difficult day at work is often just what I need," says Jill, whose "day job" consists of putting in long hours at a Park Avenue law firm in New York City. "From categories to historicals to romantic fiction, I read them all—and I have the bookcases to prove it!" Jill currently lives on Manhattan's Upper East Side.
