About the authors:

USA Today bestselling author Sonali Dev writes stories that explore the experience of being a woman in today’s world. Her novels have been named Best Books of the Year by Library Journal, NPR, the Washington Post, Cosmopolitan, BuzzFeed, PopSugar, and Kirkus Reviews. Dev has won the American Library Association’s award for best in genre, the Romantic Times Reviewers’ Choice Award, and multiple RT Seals of Excellence. Other honors include being named a RITA finalist and being listed for the Dublin Literary Award. Shelf Awareness calls her “not only one of the best, but one of the bravest romance novelists working today.”

Sonali lives in Chicagoland with her husband, two visiting adult children, and the world’s most perfect dog. Find out more about the author and her work at https://sonalidev.com.

Allie Samberts is a romance writer, book lover, and high school English teacher. She was voted funniest teacher of the year for 2023 by her students, which is probably her highest honor to date. She is also a runner, and enjoys knitting and sewing. She lives in the Chicago suburbs with her husband and two kids. You can follow her on Instagram @alliesambertswrites, TikTok @alliesamberts, YouTube @alliesamberts, subscribe to her newsletter at alliesamberts.substack.com, and get other updates at www.alliesamberts.com.

Kristen Vale writes queer cozy fantasy romcoms filled with sweetness & spice. When not reading or writing, she can usually be found thrifting, playing D&D, or staring lovingly at trees. She lives in Chicago with her partner and their cats, Opal and Wisp. Her debut novel, A Tale of Mirth & Magic, was an instant USA Today bestseller. Her second novel, A Spell of Heart & Havoc, is a sapphic romance set in the same fantasy world.
