The Making of Collette Cameron
Born and raised in Oregon, Collette Cameron grew up along the rugged northern coast, where the ocean’s roar and lush greenery sparked her imagination. A voracious reader from her teens, she devoured Barbara Cartland’s romances and fell head-over-heels for Kathleen Woodiwiss, even naming her daughter Brianna after a heroine in The Flame and the Flower. Though she dabbled in interior decorating and earned a Master’s in Teaching, it wasn’t until 2011 that Cameron penned her first novel, Highlander’s Hope, inspired by a single scene that demanded a full story. What started as a whim became a calling, and she never looked back.
Collette Cameron’s Unforgettable Stories
Cameron’s novels are a delightful mix of sweet-to-spicy romance, vivid historical settings, and witty banter that leaps off the page. Her Seductive Scoundrels series, including titles like Loved by a Dangerous Duke, follows rogues and dukes navigating scandals and unexpected love, with heroines who match their charm and courage. In Highlander’s Hope, part of the Castle Brides series, a viscount unravels a spy ring while chasing a spirited heroine across continents. The Daughters of Desire series, such as His One and Only Lady, explores class divides and slow-burn romance, with governesses and lords defying societal norms. Cameron’s strength lies in her ability to weave humor and historical detail into tales of enemies-to-lovers and second-chance romances, creating worlds where love conquers all.
Her style is distinctly playful yet poignant, often featuring animals—dachshunds, owls, even sheep—that add depth and charm. Inspired by her love of castles and historical trivia, Cameron’s settings, from rugged Scottish moors to refined English drawing rooms, feel alive and immersive. With over 1.4 million books sold, her stories resonate with readers craving escapist romance with heart.
Why Collette Cameron Matters

Cameron’s stories celebrate resilience and love, leaving a lasting mark on the genre.
