Bonnie Gardner is the author of nine published novels, five of which are published by Harlequin American Romance, and a tenth one in production. Her second American Romance, SGT BILLY'S BRIDE was a finalist in the 2003 Georgia Romance Writers' Maggie Awards. THE SERGEANT'S SECRET SON was a finalist for the 2004 Holt Medallion.

Her books all have a definite military slant, which comes natural to her. Bonnie's late father was a career army officer, then she spent 25 years following her career air force husband all over the country, and now one of her sons is making a career in the air force, as well. Not being able to leave the military connection behind, she is now an officer in the Civil Air Patrol. A former English teacher, Bonnie has been married to her high school sweetheart for over 30 years. They make their home in northern Alabama with two Jack Russell Terriers and an aging cat.
