About the Author – Tarina Deaton

About the Author

Tarina is an award-winning and bestselling author of military and contemporary romance. She has spent her entire life in and around the military - first as a dependent and then as an enlisted Air Force member.

The military gave her plenty of material to work with and she strives to create characters who authentically represent all facets of the military life - the good and the not so great, while torturing guiding her characters to their HEA.

Tarina is now retired from the military, but still works for the government. She is a single mom of twins who think they know better than she does. Her favorite hobbies, other than writing, are napping, traveling, and embarrassing her kids by being “that mom”. She has delusions of retiring “for real” and being a full-time writer and stay-at-home mom, giving her even more time to be “cringe”.
