His stories are packed with action, suspense, sexy banter between alpha males and strong women, and always—always—a happily ever after.

But beyond the accolades, Trace is a proud father of three accomplished adult children, a joyful grandfather, and a husband to his brilliant wife—who doubles as his muse and occasional editor.
