Jamie Denton surrendered a long time career as a legal assistant to pursue her passion for writing when she sold her first attempt at a contemporary romance to Harlequin Books four days before Christmas in 1994. Since then, she has gone on to see over two million copies of her books in print world wide. Not only have her books appeared on bestseller lists, but she is also the recipient of several notable reader and reviewer’s choice awards, including nominations for Best Harlequin Temptation and Best Harlequin Blaze from Romantic Times, back-to-back RITA nominations, a finalist for the Holt Medallion and Golden Quill Awards as well as a National Readers’ Choice Award nomination for Best Erotic Romance.
Jamie’s passions extend beyond writing on occasion. In those rare moments away from the computer, she and her husband of over thirty years often debate the wisdom of taking on the never-ending renovation project of another turn-of-the-century (the previous one) home.
When she’s not exploring the quaint Northwestern Pennsylvania countryside she now calls home, she’s refilling the creative well with gardening and remodeling plans, cross-stitching or completing a knitting, crochet or maybe sewing project for one of her six (soon to be eight) adorably brilliant grandchildren. She can even be found curled up with a good book. (What else but a romance?) Her spoiled rotten purebred Somali cat, Cookie is always nearby, too, snoozing or demanding food or affection.
