Elisabeth Naughton taught middle school science before topping many bestseller lists, including those of the New York Times, USA Today, and the Wall Street Journal. She learned she had a gift for constructing stories with their own chemistry as a voracious reader. The spark grew into a fire, and Naughton is now a full-time writer. Her works have been nominated for some of the industry's most prestigious honors, including the Romantic Writers of America's RITA(R) and Golden Heart Awards, the Australian Romance Reader Awards, and the Golden Leaf Award. When she's not writing new stories, Naughton can be found at her western Oregon home with her husband and three children. Visit www.ElisabethNaughton.com for additional information.
