​​​​​​​Jeanmarie Anaya writes contemporary romance novels about teens and twenty-somethings. She loves food, wine, the beach, and preferably all three of those things at the same time. She grew up in a small beach town, which means she owns more flip flops than actual shoes. After many years drafting contracts as a lawyer, she finally followed her heart and her keyboard down the path of novel-writing
 
Jeanmarie’s novels are full of romance, falling in love, heartbreak, longing, love triangles, tons of (mostly unnecessary) drama, and the beautiful ache of first love.
She lives in New York with her husband and three daughters.
