Nancy Robards Thompson

She earned a degree in journalism just to realize that reporting “only the facts” bored her to tears. Much more content to report to her muse, she has discovered Nirvana doing what she loves the most: writing historical and contemporary women’s fiction on a full time basis. After hanging up her press pass, this two-time nominee for the Romance Writers of America’s Golden Heart finally struck gold in July of 2002 when she won the award.

The best place to start is The Baby Chase series, the earliest of Nancy Robards Thompson's multi-book series: it opens with Prescription for Romance (2009) and runs to 6 books across 2009–2010, ending with And Babies Make Five (2010). Nancy Robards Thompson's other series stand alone, so they can be read in any order.
