    Eight years ago, Emma-award-winning author K.T. Bond began her second career as a ghostwriter. K.T. wrote almost forty sweet and steamy contemporary romances for her clients. Now, continuing in that trend, her own stories feature men and women from many walks of life, different races and cultural heritages, ranging in age from mid-twenties to over fifty, all embracing a second chance for love and passion.

    Her latest, an anthology, Love Wins, was written in honor of her friend and fellow author who passed from pancreatic cancer. Proceeds from the book benefit pancreatic cancer research.
