Peggy Nicholson is a prolific writer of romance fiction and a former art teacher with a penchant for sailing. Born and raised in Texas, Nicholson had an adventurous childhood.

Nicholson's childhood aspirations included plans to become a wild animal collector, an astronaut, and a director.
After studying art and English at Brown University, she taught art to public high school students for ten years. Her background in art has had a significant influence on her writing style and choice of locations. She noted on the Harlequin Web site: "Romance and visual delight are very closely associated in my mind … and now I paint pictures with words. In general I've a weakness for geographical extremes—ocean, mountains, the desert. Also for dramatic weather, tropical downpours, wrath-of-God thunderstorms, outrageous sunrises."
