It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Medical Romance author, Margaret Barker, after a short illness. Margaret wrote 60 titles for Harlequin/Mills & Boon Medical Romance between 1982 and 2013. Readers loved her trademark European and exotic settings (she loved to travel) along with the huge love of family that came through in her romance stories. She will be hugely missed by everyone she knew, for her glamour, lively spirit and exuberant optimism, and of course, her wonderful stories.
