Parker S. Huntington is a stay-at-home dog mom from SoCal, where she discovered her allergy to rain. In spite of her shoddy attendance record and strong aversion to homework, she earned a B.A. in Creative Writing from the University of California, Riverside and an A.L.M. in Literature from Harvard. When she's not writing or exchanging food pics with her friends, she's binge-watching an unhealthy amount of Netflix while curled up with her dogs.

Parker hates talking about herself and is (also) allergic to social media, but you can catch up with her in her newsletter or on TikTok.


L.J. Shen is a Wall Street Journal, USA Today, Washington Post, and #1 Amazon bestselling author of contemporary, new adult, and young adult romance. Her books have been translated in over twenty different countries, and she hopes to visit all of them.

She lives in Florida with her husband, three rowdy sons, and even rowdier pets. She enjoys good wine, bad reality TV shows, and reading to her heart's content.

'Hands down one of my favourite reads of this year. Leigh and Parker did not come to play!'

'I loved this book - it had everything it made me laugh, had angst, emotion by the bucket full and all the spice'

'Hooked from the first page, so well written with the dry, snarky, witty and sarcastic humour laced throughout'

'I laughed, I cried, I swooned and I empathised so much with this story. It was everything and more'

The hotly anticipated second standalone romance in the Dark Prince Road series. If you loved My Dark Romeo, you need My Dark Desire.

The task was simple: Sneak into Zachary Sun's closely guarded manor. Retrieve my pendant. Slip out.

Problem #1? America's most unattainable bachelor caught me.

Problem #2? He decided to keep me. As the help.

Zach Sun's winter may be the coldest I've ever felt, but he makes my skin burn. Reserved, calculated, and savagely cruel, he thrives on the weaknesses of others.

Little does he know, he just met his match.

He may be American royalty. But this peasant will rise to become Queen.
