About the Authors:

Jo Loveday is the award winning author behind thrillers that keep you up way past your bedtime, with just enough romance to make things interesting. She loves diving into themes of integrity, morality, and the mysterious stuff that goes on in our heads. With a background as a registered nurse, Jo brings a whole lot of compassion and medical know-how to her writing, giving you an authentic peek into the human condition.

When Jo picks up her pen, she takes you on a wild ride through suspense and intrigue, with moral dilemmas and hidden truths lurking around every corner. She strives for captivating storytelling that will open your heart and mind for a long time after you’ve turned the last page.

Born in the frosty tundra of Winnipeg, Canada, Jo decided she’d had enough of freezing her tail off. Landing a job in Florida, she made a beeline for balmy weather. Now she’s spinning spellbinding novels, penning heartfelt poetry, and occasionally creating some hilariously bad artwork lakeside with an undocumented number of alligators.
