M.P. Hogan is a hopeless romantic who writes contemporary romance centered on independent, passionate characters who fight for what they want—even when they’re trying hard to deny it. She believes in second chances, leans into emotional, character-driven storytelling, and never shies away from a hard-won happily ever after.

She lives in Texas with her husband that probably puts up with way too many pistachio shells —but is also her best friend and steady source of encouragement—and their rescue Shih Tzu, Sir Winston, who proudly claims the role of editor-at-large. She’s also the mother of two grown children who continue to inspire her in ways they may never fully realize.

When she’s not being ambushed by her muse at two in the morning, she’s running late, making Spotify playlists based on her books, drinking far too much coffee, or rolling out her yoga mat in an effort to slow her mind long enough to dream up her next story.
