Ella Braeme whisks readers away to the charming towns of Georgia, where love stories bloom between the Blue Ridge Mountains and the coastal marshlands. Writing steamy small-town romance with protective heroes and quirky heroines, she crafts quick, satisfying escapes perfect for stealing a moment from your busy day. When she’s not dreaming up new ways to throw couples together (sometimes literally—her heroes have been known to tackle their heroines out of harm’s way), Ella can be found in her perpetually-in-progress garden, supervised by her enthusiastic four-legged “quality control expert” who has strong opinions about where the flowers should go. A firm believer that love stories come in all lengths, she specializes in novellas that deliver all the emotion and steam of a full-length romance in a package that fits into your lunch break. Whether you’re visiting the mountain town of Elken Grove, where danger lurks around cozy bookstore corners, or the coastal haven of Windfall, where marriages of convenience turn into love matches, you’re guaranteed a happily-ever-after that’ll leave you smiling.
