Sophie Penhaligon was born and raised in the South West of England before moving to the Canadian Rockies, armed only with a snow shovel and bottle of Southern Comfort. She currently lives in the Pacific Northwest with her family and her rather naughty black Labrador.

Sophie enjoys writing novels about heroines she can relate to and heroes she can fall in love with, and she is a voracious reader of fun and sexy romances. She has a master’s degree in education and has enjoyed a variety of interesting careers, drawing inspiration from her colourful life experiences.
