Vivienne was born and raised in Houston, Texas where she currently resides with her husband and two children. She is a recruiter by day and a writer by night. She began her relationship with romance around the age of twelve when she was mistakenly sent a Zebra Historical Romance novel in her bulk shipment of teenage angst books. Her life was forever changed. Reading historical romances made her believe in the big kind of love, opened her imagination, and expanded her vocabulary (this proved helpful while studying for the SATs). Vivienne finally released her first novella Dolce Vita in October
