Lani Blake is a small town romance author, coffee addict and chocolate connoisseur (in that order). She's also known as Wendy Vella, a USA Today bestselling author of historical romances, a fact which still makes her head spin! Lani's a sucker for an alpha hero with a heart of gold, who works HARD to deserve the women he falls in love with. When she's not writing, reading or spending time with her family you'll find her walking the beach with her pup Tilly.
