Jessica Peterson writes romance with heat, humor, and heart. Heroes with hot accents are her specialty. When she’s not writing, she can be found bellying up to a bar in the south’s best restaurants with her husband Ben, reading books with her adorable daughters Gracie and Madeline, or snuggling up with her 70-pound lap dog, Martha.

A Carolina girl at heart, she fantasizes about splitting her time between Charleston and Asheville, but currently lives in Charlotte, NC.

For the past few days, I've been working on a super secret new project that I am absolutely LOVING. To be able to sit down in my lovely little office and spend the day getting to know - and torture! - handsome characters is the best gift ever.

It's also really cool to know I'm learning a craft. As a writer, I want to get better with each book; I want to learn, I want to write like the masters. I read voraciously, a little bit everything. Right now I'm digging deep into historical romance, reading everyone from Courtney Milan to fellow debuts like Kelly Bowen to Tessa Dare, Elizabeth Hoyt, Shana Galen. They are all so damn good, and sometimes it's a little depressing to know how much I have to learn. But it's also an exciting challenge. I'd love to be up there on the top shelf one day!(less)

Thank you so much for picking up my sexy southerners. So glad you enjoyed them! Hearing that you devoured the books is the ultimate compliment for an author. I also appreciate how much you adore the historical snippets! I was so nervous about including them in the books at first, but overall, readers seem to be enjoying them. While I don't have plans to write the full historical books, I do believe in never say never ;) Thanks for the question!(less)

Quotes by Jessica Peterson  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“Romance is feminist. The reply was on the tip of my tongue. Romance is one of the few genres that explicitly puts a woman’s dreams and desires, sexual and otherwise, front and center. It’s one of the many reasons I love reading it.”
Jessica Peterson, Southern Charmer

“Sophia closed her eyes, willing herself to sleep.
And woke that morning with a start when she realized she’d dreamt not at all of a glamorous turn at Almack’s on the arm of the Marquess of Withington.
No.
It had been Thomas Hope who’d taken captive her dream, whispering into her ear all the things he wanted to show her.

All the things he had yet to make her feel.”
Jessica Peterson, The Millionaire Rogue

“Do you ever get the feeling that you’re hiding who you really are to fit in? Do you ever want more? Not more stuff, but a life that’s more you, you know?”
Jessica Peterson, Southern Charmer

“Just like that, in a room full of family and friends and footmen, Henry and Caroline were alone, her voice low, his lower, as they grinned at one another. Was he imagining her burn, the same burn that coursed in the space between his blood and his bones? She couldn’t like him, or feel for him the things he did for her. He’d left her, he was maimed, a cripple, scarred on both sides of his skin. Why did he even try?

Because of the way she was looking at him, now. He wanted to reach out and touch her face, hold her chin in his palm.”
Jessica Peterson, The Undercover Scoundrel

“My course is set for an uncharted sea.”
Dante Alighieri

“We are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars.”
Oscar Wilde, Lady Windermere's Fan

“How many of us have gazed at a man and thought, ‘yes, him,’ only to have him pay his attentions to someone else? And how many of us have sighed and waited for some other gentleman to come forward? All I wish to ask is, why? Why not strike up a conversation? Why not determine for ourselves whether ‘he’ is the one? Why leave it to fate?”
A LADY’S GUIDE TO PROPER BEHAVIOR, 2ND EDITION”
Suzanne Enoch, A Lady's Guide to Improper Behavior
