Vanessa Wilder is a contemporary romance author who writes cozy love stories with R-rated spicy scenes and laugh-out-loud moments.

Vanessa grew up in purity culture and figured the best way to unlearn all that nonsense was to write spicy romance novels. She writes stories about complex, badass women who bring men to their knees.

When she’s not writing, Vanessa is probably throwing elaborate parties, reading a book in one sitting, or sweet-talking her husband into watching The Vampire Diaries with her. She lives in the Virginia with her pastor husband (the cool kind!), a dog, and two cats.
