A.R. Moler

A.R. Moler combines a career teaching chemistry at community college with a long-running interest in science fiction and romance. Her author profile describes practical research that has included police and emergency medical ride-alongs, rappelling, helicopter flight, and motorcycle training. How We Operate opens the San Diego Hope series and follows emergency-room surgeon Chris Kearney and undercover police officer Drew Hayden. Their first connection grows from a difficult case, then develops around demanding schedules and the hazards attached to Drew’s work. The professional setting suits Moler’s preference for characters whose relationships are tested by specialized jobs rather than isolated from them. The series continues with When We Collide, while her wider bibliography includes the Division P, Hell Dogs Squadron, JSOC Operators, and Inches of Trust sequences. How We Operate therefore represents both her contemporary romance work and her recurring interest in public-service professions, operational pressure, and partnerships that must make room for risk.
