I'm Courtney Pate (CourtPate on Wattpad) 
I'm a artist, author, wife, mom, and hopeless romantic. I write Young Adult & New Adult Romance, specializing in enemies-to-lovers, forbidden desire, and those swoon-worthy guys who will ruin you for real-life men.
 When I'm not lost in my fictional worlds, I'm creating digital art, listening to music, and keeping up with my 2-year-old sour patch kid (sweet one minute, absolute menace the next).

♥ What I Write:
- If you love...
- Slow-burn romance
- Enemies-to-lovers & forbidden love
- Broody, and some times possessive love interests
...then you'll probably love my books.

♥ My Real-Life Love Story
Before I wrote romance, I lived one. My husband, Harley, is my high school sweetheart, best friend, and the love of my life.
When I met him at 17, he was the broody skater boy who flirted with me, and I was the quirky blonde bookworm who laughed too much. We clicked instantly, always laughing, sharing music, and just getting each other.
He has been there through everything, supporting my dreams to be an artist and author. I think that's why I write deep, emotional love stories because I know what it's like to love someone that much. The kind of love that's everything.

♥ Artist Mode:
I create graphic design & digital art, meaning I spend an unhealthy amount of time making things aesthetic.

♥ Shoutout to My Amazing Friend:
A massive thank you to my good friend Lipsy (@simsultokki)
She's been there for me through books, characters, and life itself. She's invested countless hours into my stories (even the ones I never do anything with), and honestly? She's my ultimate hype woman. I deeply appreciate her and all the time she's spent supporting me.
