Tessa Cross seamlessly blends her talent for storytelling with her passion for sports and her background in a management role for a college sports program.

When not crafting swoon-worthy page-turners, Cross can be found hiking trails with her golden retriever or weighing up the pinot noir vs the prosecco.

She's married to a hunk of a man who utterly refuses to read her books, and has a wonderful son who would be mortified if his mother's true identity reached the schoolyard.
