C.H. Admirand was born in Aiken, South Carolina, though her family moved back to northern New Jersey where she grew up. She married her high school sweetheart, DJ, at seventeen and was married for 41 years until his death. She has three grown children. She writes about the things closest to her: family, her Irish and English ancestry, baking, and gardening. Readers will notice family names from her own heritage scattered throughout her books.

Her publishing career spans over two decades, beginning with the Historical Irish Western series in 2001 and continuing through her long-running Duke’s Guard series for Dragonblade Publishing. The Secret Life of Cowboys trilogy, published by Sourcebooks, brought her contemporary cowboy romance to a wider audience. She has also written medieval romance, small-town contemporary romance set in the fictional Apple Grove, and Regency historicals including the Lords of Vice series.

Admirand describes herself as a diehard romantic who writes about hardheaded heroes and feisty heroines. Her characters frequently resist her outlines, and she has said she learns to listen to them during the writing process. Her books are widely available through Kindle Unlimited across US, UK, Canadian, and Australian markets.
