<strong>Katerina Simms </strong>is a contemporary romance author and RWA Emerald Award Finalist; originally born on a sunny Mediterranean island, only to move to the weather-challenged suburbs of Melbourne, Australia.<br>Tea addict, nature lover, and sloppy speaker of Russian, Katerina’s novels feature vivid modern settings and heart-stirring characters, punctuated with the occasional good laugh. Her romances skirt the edges of women’s fiction, and her favorite troupes are opposites attract, slow burn, and heat with heart.<br>Two of her author idols are the legendary Nora Roberts and Susan Elizabeth Phillips, though she doesn’t suppose they know who she is.<br><em>If you’d like to be part of the excitement, receive updates on new releases, AND get a free book, subscribe to Katerina’s newsletter via her website today!</em>
