Born and raised in the Pacific Northwest, her books reflect her love for mountains and wild places.
After a career in teaching and outdoor education, she reconnected with her passion for storytelling, and is now the author of several beloved romance series.
When not writing, she’s either speed-reading small town suspense romance stories, adventuring in the mountains, or enjoying time with her family. Dakota loves hearing from readers!
