Maxine Henri writes steamy contemporary romance, is mildly addicted to black tea, loves traveling and reading and lives in a small village in the middle of fields.

She believes that stories matter. They facilitate emotional journeys, inspire and entertain. And when it comes to books and fiction, stories are a great escape and probably the most beneficial addiction on this planet.

Her debut series Sweet Temptations brings heroes that have a shady past, but a soft side to balance their darkness and heroines who are broken, but find their way. Not because the hero saved them, but because he believed in them.
