Amanda Browning

Hey there! I'm Amanda Browning, and I write the kind of steamy romance that would make my grandmother clutch her pearls (sorry, Nana). After years of devouring every romance novel I could get my hands on, I finally decided to put my own twisted tales of love and redemption onto paper.

You know those proper society ladies who always do the right thing? Yeah, that's not who you'll find in my books. My heroines are complicated women who sometimes make questionable choices – like accepting positions as mistresses or running away from perfectly good marriage proposals. (Hey, we've all been there, right? No? Just my characters? Moving on...)

I got my start writing back in 2011 with "The Bitter Price of Love," which follows the deliciously messy story of Reba Wyeth and Hunter Jamieson. Let me tell you, throwing a mistress-for-hire plot into the mix of family drama and scorching chemistry was exactly the kind of chaos I live to write. Hunter's rage at discovering his cousin's intended bride was the same woman who'd left him high and dry? *chef's kiss* That's the stuff great romance is made of.

When I'm not putting my characters through emotional wringers (it's for their own good, I promise), you can find me curled up with my laptop and an obscenely large cup of coffee, probably plotting my next story while my cat judges my life choices from across the room. I believe in writing romance that feels real – even when the situations are fantastical. Because let's be honest, how many of us regularly run into smoldering billionaires who need fake fiancées? But the emotions, the internal struggles, the journey to love? That's where the truth lives.

I write for readers who like their romance with a side of grit. My characters aren't perfect – they're messy, they make mistakes, and sometimes they take the long way around to their happily ever after. But isn't that just like real life? (Except with better clothes and more dramatic confrontations, obviously.)

My writing style? Think contemporary romance with teeth. I love exploring power dynamics, complicated family relationships, and the kind of tension you can cut with a knife. There's always steam (because what's life without a little heat?), but it's the emotional journey that really gets me going. I want you turning pages at 2 AM, simultaneously cursing my name and unable to stop reading.

To my readers: thank you for joining me on this wild ride. Every time you message me about staying up all night to finish one of my books, or tell me how much you wanted to shake some sense into a character (before ultimately falling in love with them), you make my day. You're my kind of people – the ones who understand that the best love stories aren't always pretty, but they're always worth it.

What can you expect from my books? Strong-willed heroines who don't always make the best choices (but make them with conviction), heroes who need to be taken down a peg (or three), and enough emotional turbulence to require a seatbelt. There will be moments that make you gasp, scenes that make you fan yourself, and endings that make it all worth it.

Currently, I'm working on new stories that push boundaries even further. Because if there's one thing I've learned, it's that romance readers are some of the smartest, most open-minded people out there. You deserve stories that challenge you, excite you, and leave you thinking about the characters long after you've turned the last page.

So if you like your romance with a dash of scandal, a sprinkle of redemption, and characters who feel real enough to yell at (come on, we all do it), you're in the right place. Pull up a chair, grab your beverage of choice, and let's get lost in some deliciously complicated love stories together.

(And yes, I still have that massive coffee cup. It's basically a requirement for writing at this point.)
