Valentina Ferraro

Valentina Ferraro is an Italian Contemporary, YA/NA Romance and Amazon best seller author. She was born in Rome, in the early (very early) 80’s but lived all around the globe. She left her heart in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, where she lived for three years as a teenager and made a long life pact with herself: one day she will move back there.
Her stories are filled with love triangles, laugh-out-loud humour, want-to-kill-both-of-the-characters moments and just the right amount of sexiness.
She has a beautiful daughter who looks just like her (never – NEVER – tell her differently), a gorgeous and loving husband and a half-breed dog: half Labrador and half Satan!
