Lyssa Kay Adams read her first romance novel at way too young of an age when she swiped one from her grandmother&;s stash. After a long journalism career in which she had to write way too many sad endings, she decided to return to the stories that guaranteed a happy ever after. Once described as &;funny, adorable, and a wee-bit heartbreaking,&; Lyssa&;s books feature women who always get the last word, men who aren&;t afraid to cry, and dogs. Lots of dogs. Lyssa writes full time from her home in Michigan, where she lives with her sports writer husband, her wickedly funny daughter, and a spoiled Maltese who likes to be rocked to sleep like a baby. When she&;s not writing, she&;s cooking or driving her daughter around from one sporting event to the next. Or rocking the dog.
