New York Times Bestselling author Tessa Bailey can solve all problems except for her own, so she focuses those efforts on stubborn, fictional blue collar men and loyal, lovable heroines. She lives on Long Island avoiding the sun and social interactions, then wonders why no one has called. Dubbed the “Michelangelo of dirty talk,” by Entertainment Weekly, Tessa writes with spice, spirit, swoon and a guaranteed happily ever after. Catch her on TikTok at @authortessabailey or check out tessabailey.com for a complete list of books.

“I’ll love you until my heart gives out. I’ll be your man for a thousand years. Longer if I’m allowed.”
― Tessa Bailey, It Happened One Summer

“So you know what your punishment is going to be, sweetheart? I'm going to make love to you. Slowly. Hell, it might take me until tomorrow. I'm going to lose count of how many times you come. And every time you do, I'm going to tell you that I love you. Until you fucking get used to it.”
― Tessa Bailey, Protecting What's His

“When I hug you?” Fuck. His heart was turning over and over like a car engine. “My hugs are your recharging station?”
― Tessa Bailey, It Happened One Summer

Lindee I will basically read anything you write. I need more! LOL. already read all your books, so good :)


message 11: by Melissa

Melissa Tessa, I thought we had an understanding (being as we’re both Brooklyn girls) that I’d be on a first to know basis on all your new books. That’s OK. You can make it up to me by naming your next heroine Melissa.
