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, this History and Humanities major has gone on to make the bestseller lists and win several notable awards, including a nomination for Reviewer’s Choice Award for Best Harlequin Temptation from Romantic Times Bookclub, back to back RITA nominations in 2002 and 2003 as well as a National Readers’ Choice Award nomination for Best Erotic Romance of 2002. A former Southern California native, Jamie now resides in North Dakota, exchanging sand and surf, rush hour traffic and earthquakes for wide open spaces, dodging deer on the highways and tornado warnings.
