Maggie Sims began her love affair with romance before her teen years, drawn to the Regency by her mum's British influence. She did her best to live the Carrie Bradshaw life in New York City, albeit with less expensive shoes. Despite reading hundreds of romance novels in her life, she was still blown away when she met the love of her life, an ex-Marine cinnamon roll with creative culinary skills.Having retired from corporate life, they live in Central Texas and are parents to a varying number of dogs and cats. When not writing, Maggie is a wine enthusiast, a travel junkie, and a romance reading fiend. She also sporadically crochets for KnotsofLove.org and does just enough exercise for that second glass of wine at night.
