Robyn Donald (born 14 August 1940) is a prolific New Zealand writer of romance novels since 1977.
She was not convinced, but since his doctor had asked her to humor her husband, she finished the manuscript, and sent it to the editors.
Three months later, she was surprised to receive a letter from the editor saying that if she made a few revisions they would buy her novel Bride at Whangatapu.
[5] Donald has written over 85 published novels for Mills & Boon that have been translated into 25 languages.
They are largely urban Auckland-based romances set in the elite of corporate executives, property investors and lawyers with feisty independent career-oriented heroines and apparently callous and dominating heroes; compared to the earlier South Island-oriented Anglophile romances of Essie Summers.
