Our Team
Kelly Luinstra
Author • Registered Nurse • Lifelong Storyteller
Fueled by a passion for people and the power of storytelling, I balance my days between caring for patients and creating swoon-worthy stories filled with heart, heat, and hope. As a registered nurse in Texas, I bring compassion, dedication, and a sense of humor into every room I walk into. As an author, I channel those same values into my characters—writing romances that celebrate strength, vulnerability, and love that’s worth fighting for.
When I’m not at the helping or behind the keyboard, you’ll probably find me camping under the stars, losing myself in a good book, or belting out a mix of Dolly Parton and Disturbed. I believe in second chances, happily ever afters, and always showing up for the people who matter.
