The Making of Lizzie Morton
Born and raised in the UK, Lizzie Morton’s early career was far from the literary world. Trained as a chef at Leeds City College and working as a back pain specialist and personal trainer, she balanced demanding jobs with her growing family. It was during the chaotic days of caring for her first child that Morton began writing Always You on her phone’s notes app—a spark of creativity that changed her life. What started as a side project blossomed into a full manuscript, launching her into the world of publishing in August 2020.
Morton’s transition to authorship wasn’t just a career shift; it was a leap of faith. Inspired by her love for storytelling and fueled by her experiences as a mother, she poured her heart into crafting relatable characters and gripping narratives, setting the stage for her meteoric rise in the romance genre.

Beyond the trilogy, Morton expanded her universe with the Always series, featuring interconnected standalones like Wanting You Always (2022) and Needing You Always (2023). Her Fool Me series, including Fool Me Twice (2021) and Fool Me Once (2022), dives into darker, suspense-filled romances, such as the enemies-to-lovers tale of Michael Becket, an NFL quarterback caught in a media scandal.
