Melissa Roos

Melissa grew up in the heart of Iowa. Her childhood was shaped by adventures in the Midwest countryside and long summer days working in the fields. A proud Iowa State University graduate and dedicated Cyclone fan, she later moved to Harford County, Maryland, before settling in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, where she now lives with her family.

Melissa stepped into the world of writing in 2020, publishing her first novel and quickly finding her voice in the mystery romance genre. Her books are known for their emotional depth, suspenseful plots, and richly drawn settings—from the haunting charm of small towns to the vibrant streets of cities like Nashville and the coastal allure of Ocean City, Maryland. With six standalone novels under her belt, including her latest release, The Truth Lies at the Edge, she writes stories that keep readers turning pages—and guessing until the very end.

Melissa’s passion for writing stems from a lifelong love of reading, which she credits as the foundation for her storytelling. She describes writing as “revealing a secret, one page at a time,” a philosophy that guides her work and connects her with readers who love a good mystery wrapped in romance.

Whether crafting a new plot or cheering on the Cyclones, Melissa brings warmth, heart, and a bit of Iowa grit to everything she does.
