ABOUT THE AUTHORS

Jo Segura is a USA Today bestselling author of adventure romcoms and contemporary romance. Her stories feature strong, passionate heroines and the swoon-worthy heroes who love them. Jo’s books draw upon aspects of her life, such as her Mexican heritage and her fascination with archaeology, which inspired her debut romcom, Raiders of the Lost Heart, published December 2023 by Berkley Romance. Her second novel, Temple of Swoon, will be published in January 2025. Now living in the Pacific Northwest, Jo is a Toledo native and the Toledo Library will always hold a special place in her heart.
