Lioness China Taylor loves to cook and paint, but not necessarily in that order. What she'd really love is to find her heart-match, the one male on the planet meant for her.

I write for the readers who stay up past their bedtime, telling themselves "just one more chapter" long after the lights should be out. The ones who fall in love with fictional characters, escape into magical worlds, and crave protective heroes who would do anything for their women.My love for paranormal romance started as a young mom reading ebooks in the middle of the night, drawn to the monsters who were more than villains-they were heroes. Inspired by shifters and fated mates, I set a goal in 2011 to publish my first book. Over 100 books later, I'm still creating the kind of stories I love to read.Now, I spend my days dreaming up protective heroes, captivating heroines, and the happily ever afters they fight for, often while walking with my pup coworker and plotting my next book. I write for readers who love adventure, passion, and a touch of magic-because I'm still that girl under the covers, reading by flashlight, lost in another world. Tails is a paranormal romance series about a lion shifter pride in the fictional town of Kedrick, KY.
