About the Author

Tielle (pronounced “teal”) St. Clare has had a life-long
love of romance novels. She began reading romances in the 7th grade when she
discovered Victoria Holt novels and began writing romances at the age of
sixteen (during Trigonometry, if the truth be told). During her senior year in
high school, the class dressed up as what they would be in twenty years—Tielle
dressed as a romance writer. When not writing romances, Tielle has worked in
public relations and video production for the past twenty years. She moved to
Alaska when she was seven years old in 1972 when her father was transferred
with the military. Tielle believes romances should be hot and sexy with a great
story and fun characters.
