"Having grown up vacationing on the beaches of South Carolina, I love how Jennifer's novels transport me back to that special place. Come for the gorgeous coastal setting, stay for the sweet romance—the perfect summer read!"
​
—Colleen Oakley, USA Today Bestselling Author of The Mostly True Story of Tanner & Louise

Jennifer Vido is the author of the Gull Island series, sweet Lowcountry romances inspired by her love of coastal living and small-town charm. Serendipity by the Sea won Best First Book from the New Jersey Romance Writers Golden Leaf Contest, and Baltimore Magazine readers named her Best Local Author in 2024 and 2025. A Vanderbilt graduate, Jennifer traded in teaching French to follow her dream of becoming an author. She loves discovering and sharing literary gems through her Jen's Jewels column, celebrating the books that make her heart happy. Jennifer lives in Maryland with her husband and is mom to two grown sons. Her rescue dog, Fripp, is her constant companion, though he's better at napping than editing. When she's not writing, you'll find her at the beach with her toes in the sand, dreaming about her next romance.
