Lily Owens lives in south-central Pennsylvania with her husband and her chihuahua, Lily Barbara, who firmly believes she’s the real main character.

A lifelong romance reader, Lily fell in love with the genre as a young teen after discovering Harlequin novels—and never looked back. Romance has always been more than a genre to her; it’s been a constant companion, a comfort, and a spark of imagination that quietly shaped her creative dreams for years.

That lifelong love eventually turned into an irresistible need to create her own characters, her own worlds, and her own stories.

Every Lily Owens novel begins the same way: with a dream.

When Lily has a vivid romantic dream, she brings it to life on the page—transforming it into a beautifully layered romantic suspense that blends passion, danger, emotional depth, and raw connection. Her stories invite readers into a world where love is intense, flawed, and powerful, and where every relationship carries both risk and reward.

Lily writes for readers who crave romance with an edge, characters who feel real, and stories that linger long after the final page.
