Jess Alderton

Small-town romance with heat, heart, and emotional bite.

Jess Alderton writes small-town contemporary romance with heat, heart, and emotional bite. Her stories are filled with grumpy heroes, strong heroines, slow-burn tension, and the kind of love that has to be rebuilt in the open.

She is the author of the Alder Ridge series, where old buildings hold long memories and everyone has an opinion.

When she's not writing, she's usually thinking about fictional towns, difficult men, and the moment two people finally stop pretending they don't want each other.
