Erin Brockus writes steamy small-town romance with a tropical twist. Her tight-knit island communities have all the charm and heat of your favorite small town, plus an ocean right outside the door. Her characters are smart, grounded women and the irresistible men who can't stay away from them—the kind of people you actually want to grab a drink with.
What sets Erin apart? Her stories go underwater. Drawing on her real-life passion for scuba diving and international travel, she builds worlds that feel like a vacation you never want to end. Her stories are full of salt air, adventure, and steamy tension that finally ignites.
She lives in Washington wine country with her husband, who is also a scuba instructor. When she's not sending her characters on island adventures, she's running, mountain biking, or enjoying a good book with a cup of coffee.
Erin Brockus—where passion meets paradise.
