Heroes with the shadowy pasts, steamy locals, independent women, and the clash of passionate strong-willed personalities, Valerie Everhart writes stories featuring men and women who aren't afraid to go after what they want.

She lives in the beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains of North Carolina with her husband and two sons. She often uses the backdrop of mountains as her inspiration for writing, but so is her husband. Visit her at her blog here.
