Grace Snowdon knows what she wants in a husband: a man who is handsome, a good kisser, love, and a rake. Determined to find the perfect match during her debut season, Grace won’t settle for anything less—especially not the steady, far-too-proper Earl of Sidmouth. Arthur Osborne, Earl of Sidmouth, has loved Grace since the moment he saw her. His plan to woo her with romance and devotion seemed foolproof—until he discovered she craves something far more fiery. Determined to prove he can be everything she desires, Arthur steps up his game, risking it all to show Grace that love is more than a checklist. As Arthur brings the heat, Grace begins to question everything she thought she wanted. Will she recognize the perfect man standing right before her—or will her search for passion blind her to the love she’s always needed?

Her family also includes their three French bulldogs who go everywhere with them, as well as two solid black cats. The entire family is always up for new adventures. When she is not writing or chasing after her family, she usually has a Kindle in her hand! Her writing journey began at the age of nine when she created her own comic strip, Grizzly Grouch. In adulthood, she was a freelance writer for several years, mostly writing lifestyle pieces for blogs. She found that she couldn’t stop thinking about stories and characters, so much that she had to get them on the page!

Aside from her family, writing, and books, she loves Bridgerton, the Grinch, Jessica Rabbit, horror movies, Chucky dolls, cold brew, yoga, Hamilton, the color pink, and speaking in obscure quotes from movies and TV shows.
