Growing up in rural Ontario, Leah Braemel (pronounced Bray-mel, with the emphasis on the mel) learned to lose herself in the make-believe worlds in her books. Once she realized she could write her own stories, charts and maps to keep track of her fantasy worlds littered her bedroom. In her early teens she discovered her love of romances and soon all her stories revolved around giving her heroes and heroines their Happy-Ever-After.

Married to her college sweetheart and the mother of two sons, Leah is the only woman in a houseful of men—even their dog and cat are male. She gained some varied and interesting insights while working with a security firm liaising with Toronto’s Emergency Task Force and bomb squad and later teaching computers to women escaping abusive relationships.

After a conversation with her eldest son about how he needed to follow his dreams, Leah decided to follow her own advice and make her dreams of getting published come true. She was thrilled when her first sizzling romance, Private Property, was published by Samhain Publishing in 2009.

Since then the reviewers have awarded her books numerous Top Pick and Recommended Reads designations. The reviewers at  The Romance Reviews nominated Tangled Past, was nominated as “Best Erotic Menage and More of 2011″ and The Romance Studio nominated Private Property for a CAPA award for “Best Erotic Romance,” Deliberate Deceptions as “Best Contemporary Romance of 2011″, Hidden Heat as “Best Romantic Suspense of 2012″, and Leah herself has been  nominated in the “Best Erotic Romance Author” and “Favorite Author.”
