USA Today bestselling author Alexa Padgett writes romance about wounded men learning they deserve to be loved—and the fierce, warm women who refuse to let them hide.

She's known for hockey heroes with bruised souls, rockstars haunted by their pasts, and resilient heroines who've learned to guard their hearts—stories with slow-burning tension, deep vulnerability, and heat that feels earned.

Her mystery pen name, J.J. Cagney, has earned starred reviews from Kirkus, recognition from Publishers Weekly, and a National Indie Excellence Award.

Alexa lives near Santa Fe, NM, with her husband, children, and her pups, probably drinking too much coffee while falling in love with her next set of characters.
