K. C. Bateman

Kate Bateman, also writing as K. C. Bateman, is a RITA nominated, #1 Amazon bestselling author of Regency and Renaissance historical romances. Her books feature feisty, intelligent heroines, wickedly inappropriate banter, and heroes you want to both strangle and kiss. She’s also an auctioneer and fine art appraiser, the co-founder and director of Bateman’s Auctioneers, a fine art and antiques auction house in the United Kingdom. She currently lives in Illinois with her husband and three inexhaustible children, but returns to England regularly to appear as an antiques expert on several popular BBC television shows, each of which reaches up to 2.5 million viewers.
