DNA: You’ve been the handsome fantasy man on the cover of many romance novels. Now you’ve written your own, Undefeated. How did that come about?
Stuart Reardon: I first met my co-author, Jane Harvey-Berrick a few years back and then again more recently in Dublin, where we got chatting. I had just had my shoulder reconstruction and we talked about injuries and how I was looking to retire from rugby. She asked if I wanted to write a book with her; half fictional and half real-life. I thought that could only be a good thing. I was already in that world and had been on book covers, so a natural progression would be to become an author.
