Violet Duke is a New York Times and USA Today bestselling author who writes contemporary romance focused on emotional honesty and real-feeling relationships. A former professor of English Education, she made her publishing debut in 2013 with the Nice Girl to Love trilogy, a serialized romance that quickly found a wide audience. The trilogy was collected in the complete edition as part of her broader Can’t Resist series, which also includes Finding the Right Girl.

After that debut success, Duke published the Cactus Creek series (2014-2015), a set of four small-town romances, and the Unfinished Love series (2016-2017), which explores second-chance love stories. She has also written standalone novels in the Juniper Hills and Luxe Springs settings, plus a sports romance (Fourth Down) in 2022. Based in Hawaii, Duke has built her career on writing characters who feel grounded and situations that prioritize emotional stakes over melodrama.
