Mom, wife, business owner, a classically trained vocalist, occasional university instructor and incurable book-addict, Atina can’t resist sticking her fingers in as many pots as she can reach. Passionate about love, learning, and fair chances, after earning her Ph.D. in less than 3 years, she began reading and writing Romance (the best recovery method ever).

A relative newbie in America’s Finest City, Atina loves highlighting aspects of San Diego in her books. Faith, hope, and love guide her days, fueling her addiction to HEA’s. She’s happy and content with her husband and darling toddler and is totally open to having a loving house pet in the future.
