' "I don't remember being asked," she told him tartly.

"Dear heart, I'm asking you now.

It did cross my mind to do so when we first met, but we hardly knew each other, did we?

' She smiled up at him and he said softly: "I love you, little Beth, there's no one in the world I want but you will you come with me?

' Her head was stuffed full with questions, but they could wait.

She lifted her face to be kissed and said in a voice which shook a little with excitement and happiness: "Yes, Alexander darling, I'll come with you.

Betty Ne els spent her childhood and youth in Devonshire before training as a nurse and midwife.

She was an army nursing sister during the war, married a Dutchman, and subsequently lived in Holland for fourteen years.

She now lives with her husband in Dorset and has a daughter and grandson.

Her hobbies are reading, animals, old buildings and, of course, writing.

Betty started to write on retirement from nursing, incited by a lady in a library bemoaning the lack of romantic novels.

She has since become one of Mills & Boon's most prolific and well-loved authors.
