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!
