C. M. Wyllie writes emotional small-town romance filled with slow burns, unforgettable book boyfriends, found family, and happily-ever-afters that stay with readers long after the final page.
A lifelong storyteller, Carol traded PTA meetings and school drop-offs for plot twists and happily-ever-afters after retiring from her 20-year career as a stay-at-home mom. Today, she spends her days creating swoony romances that blend heart, humor, healing, and just enough spice to keep readers turning pages late into the night.
Before falling head over heels for romance, Carol published bestselling nonfiction inspired by her breast cancer journey and a beloved children’s book series. While those books will always hold a special place in her heart, writing romance feels like coming home. Including mental health representation and second chances will always be at the heart of her stories as a reminder of her own healing journey.
When she’s not dreaming up fictional towns and irresistible heroes, you’ll find her with an iced coffee in one hand, a good book in the other, and probably convincing herself that reading counts as writing research.
Thank you for being here and for supporting this lifelong dream. I hope my stories make you laugh, swoon, maybe shed a tear or two—and always leave you believing in love.
Wishing you good books and happily-ever-afters.
What's New!
Currently writing my next book boyfriend, who is absolutely not behaving. I try to give him trauma, he demands depth. I try to make him calm and healed, he starts brooding in a barn at midnight for no reason. He’s lucky he’s fictional.
"Everyone knew. I could tell by the way they wouldn't make eye contact as they hurried past me down the hall. The whispers. I wanted to scream at them that it was all a lie."
