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.

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.

Can't wait for you to write more alpha males! Any chance we will see more of Lenny's son Bowie in books to come? I can just imagine what a great story he would have.
