Author bio

Sharon C Cooper writes the kind of stories that make room for both heat and heart. Her books move easily between contemporary romance, romantic suspense, romantic comedy, and women's fiction, but the through line stays the same. She likes love stories with real feeling, real problems, and a satisfying happily-ever-after.

She did not start out in publishing. Right after high school, she completed a sheet metal apprenticeship and spent about ten years working in construction. Later she owned and ran businesses, and she also worked in higher education. That practical background shows up all over her fiction, especially in the way she writes jobs, family businesses, and women who know how to handle themselves.

Her path to writing was not perfectly tidy.

Before she was publishing romance, she experimented with a children's book. It did not sell, but when she adapted the idea into a children's play, that version sold quickly. Years later, with a lifelong love of romance stories already in place, she decided to see if she could write one herself. She studied craft, joined writing groups, and put in the work of learning how to build a novel from the ground up.

That learning curve mattered. So did community. Cooper has spoken about how writing organizations and critique partners helped her understand story structure and sharpen her voice. She began publishing in 2012, and her debut novel, Blue Roses, kicked off a steady run of books that blended emotional romance with family ties, danger, and a lot of chemistry.

Her real-life experience has shaped several of her best-known series. The Jenkins Family and Jenkins & Sons Construction books draw on her years in construction and her memories of growing up around entrepreneurs. Her love of action movies helped feed series like Reunited and Atlanta's Finest, where former law enforcement officers, security specialists, and determined heroines fall in love while trouble closes in.

Readers often point to the mix in her work. Truth or Consequences brings second-chance tension and romantic suspense. Vindicated and the rest of Atlanta's Finest lean into danger, loyalty, and protective heroes without losing sight of the romance. Business Not as Usual shows another side of her writing, lighter, funnier, and built around class differences, ambition, and banter. More recently, books like Believing in You show how comfortably she can move into warm, family-centered contemporary romance.

She has also picked up major recognition along the way, including the Beverly Jenkins Author of the Year award and the Rochelle Alers Best Series award for Atlanta's Finest. Those honors fit, but what stands out even more is how wide her range is. She can write a fake relationship, a reunion romance, a protective bodyguard story, or a family-centered love story, and still make it feel like a Sharon C Cooper book.

She keeps busy outside the page, too.

Cooper has said that everyday life sparks a lot of her ideas, and she also paints abstract art. When she is not writing, she enjoys spending time with her husband, reading romance, volunteering, and leaning into simple pleasures like rainy days, carpet picnics, and family game night. That warmth carries into her fiction. Even when the stakes are high, her books never lose sight of connection, humor, and hope.
