Scarlett Belford is the author behind Rumor Has It. Born and raised in New York, she splits her time between glitzy Manhattan and serene Montauk, both of which continue to inspire her.

When she’s not writing romance about the glamorous games of Manhattan’s elite, you can find Scarlett digging through estate sales, researching new products to add to her ten-step skincare routine, and perfecting the art of the martini—shaken, Belvedere, extra dirty, of course. She is also the social media creator for SmoochPit—a volunteer-run mentorship program for romance writers with a goal of bringing diverse stories to the forefront.

Scarlett is represented by Paige Wheeler at Creative Media Agency.
