Happy holidays, friends! As many of you know by now, Christmas is my favorite holiday.

Each year, I am so inspired to write holiday stories, and 2021 was no exception. I actually wrote two! Keep reading to find out more about those novels as well as my books of Christmas past! 💓
Thank you for stopping by! I’m Denise N. Wheatley, a writer whose novels embody love and happy endings. I pen contemporary romance, with subgenres that span from chick lit to suspense, sweet to steamy. The common theme throughout my work involves affairs of the heart, and I strive to weave entertaining tales that’ll stay with readers long after the final chapter ends. I hope you'll enjoy reading my books as much as I enjoy writing them!
