Toni Blake's lifelong love of writing began when she won an essay contest in the fifth grade. Soon after, she penned her first novel--nineteen notebook pages long. Since then, Toni has become a multipublished, RITA(R)-nominated author of contemporary romance novels that are both sexy and heartwarming. Her work has been excerpted in "Cosmo" and reviewed by "USA Today" and "First for Women" magazines. Toni lives with her husband in the Midwest, and, when not writing, she enjoys traveling, quilting, and scrapbooking.
