Josie Charles

Hi, I'm Josie Charles, and I write steamy romance novels that'll make your mother clutch her pearls (and probably your e-reader too).

Writing romance wasn't exactly in my five-year career plan. I spent years working in corporate marketing, crafting polished messages about boring products while secretly scribbling spicy scenes in my Notes app during endless meetings. Those conference room daydreams about brooding billionaires and forbidden office romances? They eventually became my escape – and now, they're my full-time obsession.

My debut novel "Bad Millionaire" kicked off the Millionaire Brothers series, and let me tell you, these men are nothing like the cookie-cutter billionaires you've read before. They're complicated, sometimes morally gray, and definitely not looking for love (until it smacks them right in their expensive designer suits). I love writing characters who start off thinking they have it all figured out, only to have their perfectly controlled worlds turned upside down by the one person they absolutely cannot have.

When it comes to my writing style, I believe in giving readers the whole package – steamy scenes that'll fog up your windows, emotional depth that'll make your heart ache, and enough tension to keep you up way past your bedtime. I write the kind of books that make you miss your subway stop because you're too busy wondering if the heroine is finally going to give in to that irresistible man she claims to hate.

The Millionaire Brothers series combines everything I love in romance: fierce, independent heroines who don't take any crap, powerful men who meet their match, and enough family drama to fill a season of your favorite binge-worthy show. Each book stands alone, but trust me – once you meet one brother, you'll want to meet them all.

I write primarily in German (my native language), but I'm working on making my books available to English readers too. Because let's be honest – billionaires are hot in any language, right?

When I'm not writing about complicated relationships and steamy encounters, you'll find me binge-watching romance dramas, annoying my cat with excessive cuddles, or trying to perfect my espresso-making skills (still a work in progress, much like my characters). I'm also slightly obsessed with dark chocolate and have been known to stress-buy fancy notebooks I'm too scared to actually write in.

My stories aren't your typical sweet romance fare. I write about real, messy relationships with all their complications and contradictions. Expect strong themes, complex emotions, and characters who sometimes make terrible decisions before they get their act together. (Hey, nobody's perfect – especially not my heroes.)

To my readers: thank you for joining me on this crazy journey. Your messages about staying up until 3 AM to finish "Bad Millionaire" make my day every single time. I love connecting with you on Instagram and Facebook, where we can chat about everything from book boyfriends to which brother is your favorite (though I'll never pick favorites – they're all my problem children).

For new readers diving into my world: buckle up. My books come with a warning label for a reason. Expect possessive heroes, strong-willed heroines, and enough heat to make you consider taking a cold shower. There will be moments when you want to throw your e-reader across the room (please don't), but I promise the happily ever after is worth every angsty moment.

I'm currently working on the next book in the Millionaire Brothers series (yes, that brother – the one you're already curious about), and let's just say things are about to get even more interesting. Stay tuned for more updates, more drama, and definitely more steam.

Welcome to my world of complicated love stories. I hope you'll stay awhile.

Xoxo, Josie

P.S. If you're wondering whether that scene in chapter 13 of "Bad Millionaire" was inspired by real events... I'll never tell. 😉
