About the author

Janelle Vance

Janelle Vance writes contemporary romance about people who are better at fixing things than talking about them: mended hinges, balanced ledgers, and anything that lets them avoid saying what they actually mean.

She's drawn to slow burns, towns small enough that everyone already knows your business, and couples who fall in love while insisting they are doing no such thing.
