Valentina Burns is a contemporary romance author living on Vancouver Island with her husband, two kids, and a small army of pets-each one seemingly more spoiled than the last. Her love affair with romance began at fifteen, when she picked up her first novel at her high school fall fair. From that moment, she was hooked-devouring books and dreaming of one day writing her own. Now, she's living that dream, crafting stories that feature strong, relatable heroines and swoon-worthy, well-muscled heroes. Drawing from her own experiences (and perhaps a few wild daydreams), Valentina writes books that are genuine, emotional, and entertaining, with more than a little heat served on the side.
