About this title

About the Authors

Katie Mettner writes inclusive romance and romantic suspense novels featuring characters with disabilities, keeping readers turning pages long past their bedtimes.

Her love of reading began in childhood when her father took her to the library every Saturday. At seven years old, she discovered The Boxcar Children and immediately fell in love with character-driven stories. She couldn't get enough of books that pulled her into the lives of unforgettable characters, making them feel like lifelong friends.

After losing her leg at age thirty-five, Katie searched for romance novels featuring characters with disabilities, only to find stories that were often inaccurate, rooted in pity, or focused on "fixing" disability through love. Determined to change that narrative, she wrote Sugar's Dance. When readers embraced Sugar and her story, Katie discovered her passion: writing novels that portray the disability community as loving, capable, complicated, and beautifully human

Carla Cassidy is a New York Times bestselling author who has written more than 125 novels for Harlequin Books. She is listed on the Romance Writer's of America Honor Roll and has won numerous awards. Carla believes the only thing better than curling up with a good book to read is sitting down at the computer with a good story to write.
