Kate Bailey

    Kate Bailey schrijft sensuele hedendaagse romans, gedreven door haar geloof in blijvende liefde en happily-ever-afters. Haar verhalen duiken in emotionele beroering, en verkennen relaties waarin de liefde intens brandt. Ze blinkt uit in het portretteren van sterke, brutale heldinnen die krachtige alfa-helden boeien en hen vaak op de knieën dwingen met hun wilskracht en geest.
