edit data

As the daughter of a United States military officer, Joy Allyson grew up loving travel and deeply appreciating history. A former teacher-turned-writer, she has an unquenchable thirst for historical romances in her reading choices. Her favorite characters are rebel heroines and salvageable scoundrels. Joy believes the best romances are the ones you want to read over and over again.
She and her husband call the beautiful hills of Tennessee home, and her daughters and grandchildren are nearby.
