Victoria Grant

Canadian Contemporary Romance Author

Meet Victoria.

She was born in Britain. Now lives in Canada. She drinks tea. She writes romance. And, like every respectable romance heroine, she has a backstory…

Many moons ago Victoria was born in Lancashire, England to a Lawrence Welk-loving mum and a Monty Python-loving dad. At seven, the family moved to Canada. Victoria was painfully shy, even though her new classmates thought her British accent was hilarious.

Her Grade Twelve Creative Writing teacher was so impressed by her “sizzling dialogue” that he urged her to send a sample to the three major television networks in New York City. He was certain she’d be snapped up to write for a soap opera.

Naturally, she did absolutely nothing about it. Shyness won that particular battle. Somewhere in New York, a soap opera is still wondering what might have been.

Instead, Victoria spent years writing stories that got ‘put in the drawer’ while earning a living as an Administrative Assistant in banking, car rentals, ice cream, and pharmaceuticals. And, no, she didn't get free ice cream. Or a car. She still considers these oversights scandalous, but just part of life's great injustices. 

Then came a wedding coordination business. Because apparently one lifetime needed even more romance. There she found herself surrounded by love stories, nervous brides, joyful tears, occasional chaos - and plenty of inspiration. Meanwhile, she was happily married to the love of her life, proving that perhaps she really did know a thing or two about romance after all.

Eventually, all those experiences, observations, people, conversations, and years of making up stories finally caught up with her. And Victoria became a romance author.

Today, Victoria writes steamy-sweet romances with a generous dollop of humour. She creates swoon-worthy heroes, feisty heroines, complicated relationships, and enough obstacles to make her characters question why they ever agreed to be in one of her books in the first place. And even though she puts them through an emotional wringer, they eventually get the happily-ever-after they deserve.

She lives just west of Toronto enjoying an apparently endless supply of tea while Glenn Miller tunes and Monty Python's dead parrot wander around inside her head. Wine and chocolate also seem to appear in her house on a disturbingly regular basis. She has no idea how this happens, but she isn't complaining.
