A lifelong lover of romance, Elena devoured novels throughout her teens and twenties before setting them aside to build a career—and to live out a love story of her own. Nearly twenty years later, she rediscovered that passion for reading and, with a nudge from a close friend, finally put her Creative Writing degree to use by pursuing a longtime dream: penning a romance novel herself. With a unique voice and style, Elena is thrilled to contribute a new novel and, eventually, a series to her favorite genre. She is fortunate to have support every step of the way from her husband and their two beloved cats.
