Kate Bailey

    Kate Bailey crea romanzi rosa contemporanei e sensuali, spinta dalla sua fede nell'amore duraturo e nei lieto fine. Le sue narrazioni si addentrano nel tumulto emotivo, esplorando relazioni in cui l'amore brucia intensamente. Eccelle nel ritrarre eroine forti e sfrontate che catturano potenti eroi alfa, portandoli spesso in ginocchio con la loro volontà e il loro spirito.
