Leanne Blakemore and Adra Mayfield met during their freshman year at college, bonding over the love of adventure and storytelling. Leanne became a dedicated research scientist with a passion for unraveling the mysteries of life while adding a fun, whimsical spin on everything she does. Adra, a compassionate speech therapist, has a gift for understanding people’s feelings and helps them find their words so they can communicate with the world around them.

Their friendship deepened when they took a train trip across America in their senior years, where countless hours of conversation and a shared love for romance novels blossomed. This journey led them on a new adventure- writing their first romance novel. With Leanne’s sharp wit and intellect and Adra’s sympathetic nature, it became a passion to create a captivating story with love, intrigue, and a family anyone would love to be acquainted with.

Their debut novel is a result of their collaboration and love for storytelling. This story mirrors their own friendship and celebrates the magic of unexpected connections. When they are not writing, Leanne is a research scientist specializing in finding treatments for the illnesses that plague us, while Adra is helping students and parents find better ways to communicate. Together, they continue to write, laugh, and dream as lifelong friends.
