New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Tessa Bailey lives in Brooklyn, New York with her husband and young daughter. When she isn't writing or reading romance, Tessa enjoys a good argument and thirty-minute recipes.
"Tessa Bailey is in a league of her own. She has mastered the
perfect balance of heart, hilarity, and of course, heat. Elijah and
Addison are such a special duo--built on snark, sweetness, and a
genuine friendship. Beat for beat, Getaway Girl, is pure romance
perfection." — Lyla Sage, New York Times Bestselling Author of Lost
and Lassoed
“Fans of Schitt’s Creek will love the premise of Bailey’s latest
work... [a] sexy, drama-filled love story. It Happened One Summer
is another great beach read. Plus, laying out in the sun is a
perfect excuse for the blush-inducing scenes scattered throughout.”
— USA Today
“A romantic comedy delight. If you loved Schitt’s Creek, It
Happened One Summer will be your absolute jam.” — Christina
Lauren
"Tessa Bailey writes pure magic! It Happened One Summer has
everything you could want in a rom-com—heartwarming romance,
laugh-out-loud humor, and scorching hot chemistry between the
lovable socialite and sexy ship captain. I absolutely loved it!" —
Alexis Daria, bestselling author of You Had Me at Hola
“With her singular talent for writing romantic chemistry that is
both sparkling sweet and explosively sexy, Tessa Bailey once again
delivers—It Happened One Summer is everything I want in a modern
romance, with two complicated, appealing leads, a setting that
feels lived-in and also fresh, and storytelling you want to sink
into even as you can’t stop turning pages. The total package from
one of the genre’s very best.” — Kate Clayborn, author of Love at
First
"Schitt's Creek fans, this is the romance read for you." — PopSugar
(Best Books of July)
"Her voice feels as fresh and contemporary as a Netflix
rom-com... Bailey writes banter and rom-com
scenarios with aplomb, but for those who like their romance on the
spicier side, she’s also the Michelangelo of dirty talk. She
wields filth like Da Vinci does a paintbrush, and there’s a lot to
be said for an author who can fill such exchanges with all the
requisite heat, enthusiastic consent, and yes, even humor, of such
a scenario without veering into corny territory." —
Entertainment Weekly
"Bailey strikes rom-com gold in this outstanding tale... [She]
is bound to earn new followers with love scenes hot enough to boil
water and a hilariously naïve Schitt’s Creek-inspired
protagonist who is clearly out of her depth." — Booklist (starred
review)
"Bailey delivers on her usual trifecta of sharp banter, instant
chemistry, and high-heat sex scenes, but they are coupled with
intense soul-searching for both Piper and Brendan... Another
winning romance from an author at the top of her game." — Kirkus
Reviews (starred review)

between opposites. Schitt’s Creek fans who just wanted to see
Alexis get her happy ending will flock to this title." — Library
Journal
