Melinda Leigh is a former banker who traded spreadsheets for suspense novels after her youngest child started first grade. She joined Romance Writers of America in 2007 and published her debut novel, She Can Run, in 2011. That book earned an International Thriller Writers nomination for Best First Novel, and her career took off from there. She has since sold more than 15 million copies worldwide, earned two RITA Award nominations, and was inducted into the New Jersey Romance Writers Hall of Fame.

Her most popular works include the Bree Taggert series, which follows a former Philadelphia homicide detective turned small-town sheriff in upstate New York, and the Morgan Dane series, about a widow who becomes a defense attorney in Scarlet Falls. Leigh frequently collaborates with fellow author Kendra Elliot on novella series set in rural Oregon, including the Rogue River, Rogue Winter, Rogue Vows, Rogue Justice, and Widow’s Island series. Her books are known for blending fast-paced criminal investigations with well-developed romance, and she continues to release new titles regularly.
