Author Information

Megan Avery's biggest critique of modern media has always been 'needs more kissing.' She's taken it upon herself to make that happen by writing heartwarming and steamy romance novels. She loves coffee, dogs, and books - the bigger the better. On the rare occasion she leaves her home in Kentucky, she's most likely to be found at a concert or local restaurant with her husband.
