Jessica Trapp writes romances striking for their sensuality and strong conflicts between her heroes and heroines. Her debut novel MASTER OF PLEASURE (Zebra June 2005) finaled in more than 25 national fiction-writing contests. Jessica believes a dynamic romance is one where two opposing characters are transformed into two people who share love and passion.

Her writings have been described as a "bold unabashed voice" and "beautifully evocative" by judges in RWA sponsored contests.

She has a BS degree in pharmacy and lives in Houston, Texas with a husband and son who are as passionate about books as she is. When she's not reading or writing, she studies Raks Sharki (more commonly known as bellydance), putters in the garden, plays chess, and drinks copious amounts of hot tea.
