Jaci Burton is a USA Today and New York Times bestselling author who lives in Oklahoma with her husband and dogs. She has three grown children who are all scattered around the country having lives of their own. A lover of sports, Jaci can often tell what season it is by what sport is being played. She watches entirely too much television, including an unhealthy amount of reality TV. When she isn't on deadline, which is often, Jaci can be found at her local casino, trying to become a millionaire (so far, no luck). Burton is the author of the Play-by-Play series including The Perfect Play, Changing the Game, Taking a Shot, Playing to Win, Thrown by a Curve, One Sweet Ride, Melting the Ice, and Straddling the Line, and, with Lora Leigh, co-author of the anthologies Nauti and Wild and Nautier and Wilder. She's a total romantic and loves a story with a happily ever after, which you'll find in all her books.
