Scarlett Synclair was single for most of her 20s and part of her 30s — that’s a lot of evenings with nothing but her imagination, a glass of wine, and a hot bath for company.

Those years left her with a passion for erotic, amusing, adventurous stories. She likes her heroines strong, smart, and sexy. She likes her men dark, dominant, and delicious.

Scarlett’s favorite food is Thai, because it’s hot and sweet. Her favorite exercise is kickboxing, because it makes her sweat, plus it makes her feel like a ninja. Her second favorite thing to do is read. Her first favorite thing to do is to…well, eat, but preferably off her naked husband.
