About the Author

When Kali Anthony read her first romance she realised a few truths; that there can never be too many happy endings, and that one day she'd write them herself. After marrying her own tall, dark and handsome hero in a perfect friends-to-lovers romance, Kali penned her first story. If she isn't battling her cat for access to the keyboard, you can find her wearing vintage clothes, gardening or bushwalking with her husband and children in the rainforests of South-East Queensland.
