Hi, I’m D.M. Simmons—author, romance lover, and believer that every heart deserves its own love story. Whether it’s a slow burn that builds until you’re ready to combust, or a fast-paced, edge-of-your-seat romance with all the twists, I write emotionally charged stories with heart, heat, and a healthy dose of banter. I love building rich, layered worlds filled with chemistry-soaked characters who make you laugh, cry, and swoon—sometimes all in one chapter!

​

My stories explore all shades of love—from forbidden sparks and second chances to unspoken feelings and the kind of longing that spans centuries. I love small towns, sports, and fantastical worlds, with books published in each, and more on the way! 

​

When I’m not writing or juggling real life, you can usually find me lost in a playlist, binging a good show, rewatching favorite movies, or chasing after my kids (and cats). I live in California with my family, and think there’s nothing better than a quiet moment, a rainy day, and a perfectly made latte with the right amount of foam.
