Melissa Collins is the bestselling author of the Love trilogy, which has been featured in USA Today and the New York Times. Her nose was often locked in a book as she studied literature in college. Her love of reading led her to the most logical job path: English teacher. Her goal was to instill in her students a love of reading and the escapism that books provide. She read her first romance novel while on maternity leave in early 2012, and her head was filled with the love, angst, and humor of the people she read about. Melissa is based in New York City.
