Julia Sykes is a USA Today bestselling author of swoon-worthy forbidden romance. When she's not writing, she's usually reading.

Her obsessions include iced coffee, unicorns, charcuterie, aged Manchego cheese (or any cheese, really), and fancy dresses.

An American expat, Julia now lives in her adopted, beloved home of York, England. Most days, you can find her wandering the cobbled streets and daydreaming about her next novel.
