edit data

Kate Sweden is an award-winning romance author with a flair for funny, a soft spot for slow burns, and a love of happily ever afters with heat. A former Air Force officer, educator, and lifelong book nerd, she traded briefing rooms and lesson plans for plot twists and first kisses. These days, she lives in Northeast Florida with her husband, their teenage son, and a very opinionated dog named Sailor—plus a pantry that’s suspiciously short on chocolate.

Wrecked By You is a proud recipient of:

✨Readers’ Favorite 5-Star Seal for Excellence in Romance Fiction
✨1st Place Winner of the Firebird Book Awards in Chick Lit
✨Hollywood Book Festival First Place Winner in Genre-Based Fiction (Romance).
✨Literary Titan Book Award Gold Medal Winner
