Three sexy facts about Clare:

1. Her ideal man is Legolas from Lord of the Rings, so there’s a LOT to unpack there.
2. She once tried to seduce a man on an Edinburgh ghost tour by drunkenly rambling about Dungeons & Dragons. It did not work.
3. Her first job was repairing Harlequin Romance novels in the back of her local library, because they were the books that got rented the most. There were an uncomfortable amount of sex scenes on horses. Why? Why do people try that?
