{"title":"Amelia Markley","description":"\u003cp\u003eAmelia Markley is a writer and enjoyer of spicy romantic comedy. She’s probably reading two to three books at all times and can’t seem to stop. So what did she do? Threw another one into the mix—her own. In her spare time—when not reading—she loves to spend time with her family, coach her kids’ soccer team, and bake in the sun like a lizard. You'll also find her at her desk with a Diet Coke between the hours of 10 p.m. and 2 a.m. when she gets most of her writing done. She hopes you take pleasure in what came out of her brain during those times. She lives in California with her husband, their two kids, and two dogs.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAmelia Markley’s books are published by Keylight Books, an imprint of Turner Publishing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBrowse more: \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/books-new-releases\"\u003eNew Releases\u003c\/a\u003e · \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/award-winning-books\"\u003eAward-Winning Books\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"headfirst-canyon-creek-1","title":"Headfirst (Canyon Creek, 1)","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAmelia Markley bursts onto the romance scene with a spicy small-town rom-com about a single tattoo artist father and the annoyingly sexy nanny he’s determined not to fall for in this debut perfect for fans of Lana Ferguson and Meghan Quinn.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eMeet Ivy Bennett.\u003c\/b\u003e After fleeing California and a bad relationship, Ivy moves to the small town of Canyon Creek with nothing to her name but an ancient car off of Craigslist and a teaching position at the local middle school. She quickly learns to love two things: The two best friends she’s made—her eighty-year-old landlord and a more age-appropriate coworker—and the charming little town nestled in the pines. The thing she hasn’t learned to love? Her job.
