Samantha Hayes grew up in a creative family where her love of writing began as a child. Samantha has written over twenty thrillers, including the bestselling titles Date Night and Until You're Mine. The Independent called her writing 'fantastically written and very tense' while Good Housekeeping said 'her believable psychological thrillers are completely gripping.' Samantha's books are published in multiple languages (over twenty-two at the last count). In her free time, Sam loves painting watercolours, going to the gym and swimming. She has three grown-up children and lives in Warwickshire.
