Louisa Darling is the girl who, at age six, thought The Secret Garden would’ve been much improved by Mary and Dickon kissing. After discovering historical romance at age eleven, she grew up into a voracious romance reader who has written more than a dozen contemporary romances under other names. She has finally come home to her first love, writing steamy, Regency-set historicals featuring smart, strong-willed heroines who follow their passions…straight to the sexy, smitten heroes who can’t get enough of them. With an editorial background that she now taps for revisions on her own books, Louisa makes her home in Austin, TX with her husband, their daughter, and an adorable floof of a kitten named Luna and a terrier named Rosie.
