Bella James writes the sort of stories she likes reading, so she combines handsome men in kilts with sassy and determined women, wild Highland castles and cozy cinnamon-scented coffeeshops in tiny small-town streets overlooking the sea. Add a helping of spice, a secret-filled library, some found family and a bit of heartache leading to a well-earned HEA and she's happy.

Bella lives in England with her husband and two dogs. When she's not writing she's found trying to learn digital art, baking cardamom buns or walking in the woods.
