From Wall Street Journal bestsellers L.J. Shen and Parker S. Huntington comes an explosive marriage of inconvenience...between a tarnished Romeo and a reluctant Juliet.

Description

He's my dark Romeo... but this isn't a love story.

It was supposed to be a harmless kiss at a lavish debutante ball. A clandestine moment with a handsome stranger.

But unlike his namesake, my Romeo isn't driven by love. He's fueled by revenge.

To him, I'm a chess piece. Leverage. His rival's betrothed.

To me, he is a man deserving of poison. A dark prince I refuse to marry.

He thinks I'll accept my fate. Well, I plan to rewrite it.

And in my story, Juliet doesn't die. But Romeo? He perishes.

Perfect for fans of Lauren Asher and Ana Huang, My Dark Romeo is a standalone reluctant arranged marriage romance set in the decadent Dark Prince Road world.

About the Author

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.
