By day Victoria Fox lives in London, by night she relaxes in her fantasy LA mansion, sipping Krug in a Jacuzzi and watching a bare-chested man clean out her pool.

Born in 1983, Victoria went to boarding school in her teens and studied English at university. While there, she wrote her first (unpublished) bonkbuster: The Hardest Part. It had lots of sex in it and not a great deal else. Suffice to say that after a rambunctious beginning it was over disappointingly quickly.

Despite this, the genre never lost its sheen. Victoria wants to write bonkbusters with swagger; rude, racy and irreverent reads that reignite the glory days of Collins and Cooper. Plenty of sex, bags of scandal and a host of outrageous players who keep us up long after lights-out.

A long-time admirer of Jackie Collins, she often wondered what life would be like as a bonkbuster author. After working in publishing for a few years, Victoria decided to quit and find out – and she hasn’t looked back since...

Victoria’s debut novel, Hollywood Sinners was described by Closer as "a heady mix of corruption, glamour, lust and power". Her second full length novel Temptation Island is published in June 2012.
