Anne Vinton (who also wrote as Juliet Shore and under her real name Jan Haye) was a British author best known for medical romance novels published by Mills & Boon and Harlequin between the 1950s and 1980s.

Background: She drew extensively on her own experiences as a nurse in Africa, particularly Uganda and Nigeria, giving her novels a greater degree of medical realism than many contemporary romances.
Publishing period: Approximately 1957–1984.
Primary publishers: Mills & Boon (UK) and Harlequin (North America).
Her heroines were frequently doctors, physiotherapists, or nurses working in hospitals or overseas medical missions, reflecting changing roles for women during the post-war period.
