About Sutton

Sutton Hayes writes steamy, big-hearted romances about grumpy cowboys and the city girls who bring them to their knees. A recovering corporate strategist who traded boardrooms for wide-open spaces, Sutton now lives in the Pacific Northwest, where she spends her days dreaming up fictional small towns that feel like home.

She believes that true love is messy, healing, and best served with a side of witty banter and a slow-burn fire that eventually scorches the pages. Her stories in The Ironwood Series explore the idea that 'home' isn't just a place on a map, but a person you can't live without. Drawing on her own journey from the hustle of city life to the quiet of the mountains, Sutton infuses her characters with the relatable struggle of finding where they truly belong.

When she isn't writing about brooding ranchers or the high-powered women who tame them, Sutton can be found attempting to bake the perfect sourdough (with mixed results), hiking trails that are slightly above her fitness level, or obsessively color-coding her bookshelf. She lives with her husband—who is decidedly less grumpy than her heroes, though just as supportive—and a rescue dog who effectively runs the house.
