Author bio

Julia Jarrett is a Canadian contemporary romance author who writes warm, spicy stories about small towns, found family, and people who have to get honest before they can get happy.

She keeps her public life fairly home-based. Her author bios place her on the west coast of Canada, where she is a wife, a mom of two boys, and the owner of two rescue dogs. Tea, reading, and daydreams about sunny vacations all show up as part of the picture.

Before romance became her full-time creative work, Jarrett spent more than ten years as a hospital social worker. That background fits the shape of many of her books. Her characters often have big feelings, busy families, messy jobs, and old wounds they would rather not discuss at the worst possible moment.

The writing began with a dare, or close enough to one.

After watching how many romance novels she read, her husband joked that she should try writing one herself. Jarrett started at thirty-five, and the challenge turned into a publishing career. She moved quickly once she began, writing and publishing her first series in less than a year, then building out connected worlds one couple at a time. Her early Lucky Strike Lovers books, beginning with Loving Callie and Protecting Anna, grew around a Portland craft pub, close friendships, and people learning to trust the person who shows up when life gets complicated. Those books are a good snapshot of what she does often: capable heroines, affectionate but stubborn heroes, and a group of friends who notice everything.

From there, she moved into island and small-town settings. Falling Fast begins the Westmount Island Trilogy with a ferry meet-cute and a heroine whose quiet island life runs straight into a bold outsider. Dogwood Cove, which starts with Always and Forever, gives readers a coastal town full of family ties, local businesses, second chances, and the kind of gossip that makes privacy difficult.

She likes a clear romance hook.

You will see best friend's siblings, fake dating, surprise pregnancies, single parents, forced proximity, grumpy sunshine pairings, and second chances across her books. Jarrett tends to keep the focus on the couple, but the communities around them matter too. Cafes, pubs, hospitals, resorts, wineries, and team clubhouses become places where people are watched, teased, helped, and pushed toward the truth.

In recent years, Jarrett has leaned into baseball romance. The Vancouver Tridents books, starting with Break the Rules, mix pro sports pressure with single parenthood, public image, team rules, and messy attraction. The Cedar Creek Thunder series, launched with The Game Changer, brings baseball into a small-town comeback story, where saving a team also means paying attention to the people around it.

Jarrett has said that writing gives her control, which is both the good part and the hard part. Family life also shapes the way she works, because writing often has to fit around kids, home, and ordinary interruptions. When she gets stuck, she turns to other author friends to talk through the block. It is a practical, very human way to work, and it matches the books: nobody has to solve everything alone.
