USA Today Bestselling author Kathleen Lawless blames a misspent youth watching Rawhide, Maverick, and Bonanza for her fascination with cowboys. Historical or contemporary, cowboys continue to resonate with her today.

One of her heroes, Steele, is a modern-day cowboy, so when she met a man called Steel - Well, he’s not a cowboy, but he's an alpha male and her forever hero. Which is why all of her stories end Happily Ever After.

Not that she can ever stick to just one genre. So many stories to tell—never enough time.
