Early career
Britton was discovered through Bantam/Doubleday/Dell's "Diamond Debut" contest for unpublished writers (1997) as well as Romance Writers of America's prestigious "Golden Heart" (1998). She didn't win either contest, but one of the judging editors offered her a publishing contract based on the strength of her work. Her debut novel, MY FALLEN ANGEL (HarperCollins), was released in 2000, but it was her fourth book, SEDUCED (Warner), a Regency-era romance, that launched her career. Publisher's weekly called it, "[A] delightful tale [that] outshines many romances of its ilk," and Booklist gave it a starred review. The book went on to secure awards and accolades, Barnes & Noble naming it one of the best romance novels of 2003.[2]
Britton's fifth book, TEMPTED (Warner), also secured positive reviews and another nod from Barnes & Noble in 2004. Her sixth book, SCANDAL (Warner), was her final work of historical fiction. In 2005, Britton turned her attention to writing single-title contemporary romance. Her first entry, DANGEROUS CURVES (HQN/Harlequin), was at the forefront of the sports romance genre, specifically, her stories were centered around stock car racing. Her work came to the attention of NASCAR who signed her publisher to a licensing agreement in 2005, the first of its kind. Britton's 11th novel carried the official NASCAR logo. Titled IN THE GROOVE (HQN, 2006) it subsequently appeared on the front page of USA Today and within the pages of Sports Illustrated, Entertainment Weekly, and Southwest Airlines’ Spirit Magazine. Celebrities such as Jay Leno, Keith Olbermann, and Stephen Colbert spotlighted the book on their show.
Present Day
Britton stepped away from writing NASCAR books in 2008, but she continues to write contemporary romances for Harlequin books. To date she has written 38 books for various publishers. She is working on her 40th.
