About Larissa

Larissa Lyons loves writing that life-altering spark of first attraction. Many of her books feature characters dealing with physical disabilities, but once those strong heroes meet their woman? Everyone gets weak in the knees.

All of Larissa’s books brim with laugh-out-loud humor, some flare hot while others simmer, and there’s often a snarky cat or canine along for the read as well. Her historical, slang-laced voice makes it easy to become lost in the past (though she secretly wishes Regency dukes wore cowboy boots—alas, neither does her husband).

She’s the winner of the 2024 National Excellence in Storytelling Award, historical novella category, for A Snowlit Christmas Kiss. Rescued by a Christmas Kiss won the same award in 2025!

Larissa and Mr. Lyons live in Texas with their menagerie of bossy cats and big dogs in one cluttered abode she’s constantly hoping to clear out. She avoids housework one word at a time listening to the voices in her head clamoring to reach the page…

Creatively working around some health challenges and computer limitations, it’s a while between releases, but stick with her—she’s working on the next one.
