I have loved romance novels since I was a teen, sneaking them into my Bible studies at my all-girls Catholic school. I love strong heroines who know that the men that may come into their lives are always the icing, and never the cake. Thanks to my own marriage, I have learned that the challenges of life can only help to make love stronger and I am grateful to my husband for embodying all the magic that love can offer. When I am not writing or dreaming up new love stories, I am working as a social worker in a retirement community outside of Boston that provides me with enough writing material for ten lifetimes.
