Every time Leila’s mom bought home a Harlequin romance in the grocery bag, she defied lights-out and tucked away beneath her sheets with a flashlight, reading and falling in love with love stories.

​

Today, she weaves "happily ever afters" featuring women who exist in unexpected spaces and courageously conquer unexpected odds authentically and unapologetically. Her heroes worship, respect, cherish and fight for these women who challenge and capture their hearts.
