Jaci Burton is a USA Today and New York Times bestselling author of the Hope novels, including Hope Burns and Hope Ignites, and the Play by Play novels. She lives in Oklahoma with her husband and dogs. A lover of sports, Jaci can often tell what season it is by what sport is being played. She watches entirely too much television, which she considers โbook research.โ When she isnโt on deadline, Jaci can be found at her local casino, trying to become a millionaire (so far, no luck). Sheโs a total romantic and loves a story with a happily ever after, which youโll find in all her books.
