Victoria Ives grew up on the Cornish coast and studied materials science before detouring into theatrical lighting and risk communication. She later moved to New Mexico, where the high desert's monsoon skies and adobe courtyards inform her character-driven romances. A former communications lead for a wildfire research lab, she blends technical detail with slow-burn emotion. When not writing, she volunteers with local libraries, hikes arroyos with a rescue mutt named Juniper, and experiments with small-batch candles. She splits her time between Santa Fe and a windswept village in Cornwall.
