Alison's love of the romance genre goes all the way back to her high school years when she gobbled up every Harlequin novel she could get her hands on. Back then, she never dreamed of writing her own stories, but years later, her inner writer emerged and she's now a multi-published author of contemporary romance.When she's not plotting her next book, she hangs out with her adorable rescue dog, Bailey, consumes more chocolate than she should, and spends time with her friends and family.Visit her website at www.alisonpackard.com to subscribe to her newsletter, get information about her previous books, and updates about upcoming releases.
