Sophia Johnson was born in balmy Key West. At an early age, she learned that stories did not always end the way she wanted. So, she'd lay under a coconut tree and let her imagination picture a happily ever after ending that was far more satisfactory.
She, her husband, their terrorist Chihuahua Jamie and lover Papillon Konner live in north-central Florida. They have two daughters who have delighted them with four grandchildren.
Now, Sophia writes intense, sensual medieval romances for Kensington Zebra. Her Blackthorn Trilogy started when Kensington released Risk Everything in 2005, followed by Always Mine in 2006. The third book, Midnight's Bride will launch in October 2007.

Always Mine has finaled in the More Than Magic, the Golden Quill and the Beacon Contests for 2007.This story is set in Scotland, 1069. The great Lord Damron is no more than a shadowy, powerful presence in the ruins of Blackthorn Castle. But the compelling gaze of his protrait draws Lydia Hunter to stand before him-and fall through time. Forced to marry the legendary Scot, she is captive to the arrogant knight in a time and place she can't escape. Damron finds this spitfire is no docile, obedient bride like he was promised, but a woman who mistakenly believes she is his equal.
Sophia takes you back to medieval times to experience the shock that a modern, successful business woman would feel when she awakens to find her body isn't as it was.
That shock is as nothing compared to learning she has been married by proxy to a domineering man who thinks he can control her.
Risk Everything has finaled in the Holt Medallion and the Maggie Awards Contests for 2006. This tale follows Lord Damron's cousin Meghan, the Pride of Blackthorn, and Rolf MacDhaidh, the man who loved her once, but now she's no more than a pawn for his vengeance against her brother.In this intense story, Meghan had loved Rolf once, in secret. Now, the man they called the Lord of Vengeance wanted her... To Rolf, she is more precious than gold. But he must forget his dreams of her as his bride and remember she is no more than a captive now. Bewitched still, her spirit kindles a passionalte desire that can't be tamed.

When she unwittingly entices her latest suitor to death, Lynette of Wycliffe tries her father's patience one time too many. Furious that he will not soon be rid of her, he vows she'll marry the next man who passes through the barbican gates.
To Lynette's horror, the man is a giant of a savage. Disguised as a maid, she escapes with her friend to Scotland. Her glee at evading an odious marriage is short lived.
