Cora Brent was born in a cold climate but escaped as soon as it was legally possible. These days, she lives in the Arizona desert with her husband, two kids, and a prickly pear cactus she has affectionately named “Spot.” Cora’s closet is filled with boxes of unfinished stories that date back to her 1980s childhood, and someday she fully intends to finish her first masterpiece about a pink horse that plays baseball. But in the meantime, she’s consumed with her romance novels. The author of the Gentry Boys books and the Worked Up series, which includes Fired, Cora feels blessed to have appeared on the bestseller lists of both USA Today and the New York Times.
