A contemporary romance author that loves helping others find their best story!

Overview

I'm New York Times and USA Today Bestseller Krista Lakes and I'm best known for my contemporary billionaire romances. I'm comfortable with all heat levels (from none to erotica) and will happily help you develop your story! I enjoy developmental editing, line editing, and overall readability projects. Grammar and proofreading are not my strong suits, but I will tell you anything I happen to find.
