Torrey E. Hales is the author of Becoming Mrs. Collins, a regency-inspired romance with equal parts wit, heart, and the occasional scandalous glance. By day she keeps her tiny human and two dogs alive while laughing, telling terrible jokes and going on long walks. By night she dreams up plotlines and tries to figure out answers to all the plot holes she comes upon. Torrey lives in Utah with her  husband, daughter, and two very opinionated dogs. She fills every spare minute with reading, chauffeuring her daughter and friends around, and the noble pursuit of finding perfect puns. Raised on afternoons spent reading under a skylight while avoiding doing chores, she writes tender, witty stories for readers who love manners, mischief, and slow-burn romance.
