Hayley Fleming grew up in Florida, where she was raised by two novelists and surrounded by alligators and English professors. She earned her Bachelor of Arts in political science and music from Amherst College. Nowadays, she lives in Washington, D.C., doing nonprofit work by day and writing rom-coms by night. In her free time, you can find her chatting with her romance book club, singing alto in a local chorus, and scouring the internet for budget flights to fun destinations. ALICIA THOMPSON writes romance novels, reads whatever she can get her hands on, and plays a mean “Bad Moon Rising” and not much else. She lives in Central Florida with her family.
