Hi, I'm Erin

Romance-forward, with a twist. Always found family. Always a happily ever after.

I'm Erin FitzGerald, and I write emotionally-driven romantic suspense, and each series has its own home: the West Coast for The Atholtons, the urban East Coast for Men of the First Brigade, Montana for Wolf Mountain Ranchers and Minnesota for Colson Creek. My stories are romance-forward with a twist: midlife characters getting a second chance, protective heroes, slow-burning spice, and a found family that's just a little bit unhinged. And every single book ends with a happily ever after.

Coming Soon
