Hi! I’m Tess Hartley - author, single mom, and lifelong book lover. Ever since I was a kid, I’ve found comfort and escape between the pages of a good book.

These days, when I’m not writing steamy, suspenseful romance or trying to keep up with my energetic son, you’ll find me in the gym lifting weights, discovering new delicious cuisine, spending quality time with family and friends, or dreaming up my next getaway.

Life can be hectic, but I believe in the magic of a story that sweeps you away - even if just for a little while. I’m so glad you’re here to share that magic with me.

Dim the lights, pour yourself a cup of coffee or uncork your favorite bottle of wine, and let’s dive into stories that are sure to stir your heart and heat your soul.
