New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Tessa Bailey lives in Brooklyn, New York with her husband and young daughter. When she isn't writing or reading romance, Tessa enjoys a good argument and thirty-minute recipes.
Tessa disarms you with a laugh, heats things up past boiling, and then puts a squeeze inside your heart. The tenderness, vulnerability and heat I am always guaranteed with a Tessa Bailey book are the reasons she is one of my all-time favorite authors. --Sally Thorne Tessa Bailey writes pure magic... heartwarming romance, laugh-out-loud humor, and scorching hot chemistry. --Alexis Daria With her singular talent for writing romantic chemistry that is both sparkling sweet and explosively sexy, Tessa Bailey once again delivers... one of the genre's very best. --Kate Clayborn A romantic comedy delight... It Happened One Summer will be your absolute jam. --Christina Lauren Bailey is a master at articulating emotion through both narrative prose and dialogue... Every page in this fabulous novel is pure romance gold. --BookPage (Starred Review) on Hook, Line, and Sinker Bailey strikes rom-com gold in this outstanding tale... [She] is bound to earn new followers with love scenes hot enough to boil water and a hilariously naive Schitt's Creek-inspired protagonist who is clearly out of her depth. --Booklist (starred review) on It Happened One Summer Her voice feels as fresh and contemporary as a Netflix rom-com... Bailey writes banter and rom-com scenarios with aplomb, but for those who like their romance on the spicier side, she's also the Michelangelo of dirty talk. She wields filth like Da Vinci does a paintbrush, and there's a lot to be said for an author who can fill such exchanges with all the requisite heat, enthusiastic consent, and yes, even humor, of such a scenario without veering into corny territory. --Entertainment Weekly
