Cora Kenborn

Cora Kenborn is a renowned author, known for her award-winning and bestselling books in the genres of suspense, romance, and contemporary fiction. She has a distinctive writing style that is characterized by crafting feisty heroines and damaged bad boys, taking her readers on a roller coaster ride before ultimately delivering a satisfying happily ever after. When she is not writing, Kenborn can be found at her desk, enjoying a cup of coffee and some gummy bears, while trying to convince her family that microwaving a Hot Pocket is the same as cooking dinner.

Kenborn is the author of two popular romance series, Carrera Cartel and Lord of Lyre, and has written over thirty-two multi-genre novels. She is best known for her dark and gritty romances, which she infuses with sharp banter and unexpected twists. Kenborn has a soft spot for brooding antiheroes who fall hard for feisty heroines who stand beside them, not behind them. Despite being a native North Carolinian, Kenborn claims that the domestic Southern Belle gene skipped a generation, and she spends any free time trying to convince her family that microwaved mac and cheese is an acceptable substitute for fine dining. Kenborn has a playful sense of humor, as evidenced by her social media presence, where she often jokes about autocorrect's apparent obsession with ducks.
