Welcome


Hi, I’m Carla Swafford. I write spicy, gritty romances packed with action, adventure, fantasy, assassins, crime families, motorcycle clubs, hockey stars, vampires, and small-town charm. Not necessarily all in the same book—but sometimes pretty close. Ha!

No matter the setting, one thing never changes: romance and a hard-earned happily-ever-after.


What has changed?

The Latest Release by Carla Swafford

On October 13, the book I collaborated with friend and author Betty Bolté will be set free into the world. If you would like to purchase an early & signed copy, come to my book signings on Oct. 3 and 10. And there’s another signing on October 17.

Sometimes, the road home leads straight to love.

Major Kat Morrison returns home on extended leave to sell her late aunt’s rundown horse farm, determined to fix it up and move on. But working alongside Liam Wolfe, the farm’s gruff yet undeniably handsome caretaker, reminds her that some places—and some people—are harder to leave behind.

When Kat discovers she isn’t the only heir to the property and her aunt’s ghost hints that her death may not have been an accident, Kat and Liam begin searching for answers together. As they unravel old secrets, their growing attraction makes Kat question whether her future lies somewhere she never expected.
