It took Alison Kent a while to decide what she wanted to be when she grew up. She didn't write her first book until she was 30. This voracious reader turned her love of romance into a flourishing career that began with Playing Love's Odds written under the pen name Michaila Callan and published by Kismet in 1993. Alison admits to a love affair with her romantic heroes, particularly the alpha males so prevalent when she first started writing like Wolf Mackenzie and her own Logan Burke. With the release of her Harlequin Temptation Call Me in 1996, Alison's career quickly picked up speed with the release of a total of fifteen category romances, two novellas, and two romances in serial format for four different publishers in the last eleven years. This includes the wildly sexy and amazingly successful Girl-Gear series for Harlequin Blaze. Now, Alison's career goes super sonic with the single title release of The Bane Affair form Brava, the first book in the Smithson Group 5 series.
