Brie Youngblood is a romance author who firmly believes that stories should come with three things: sharp banter, scorching heat, and a messy, vulnerable heart beating underneath it all. She writes the kinds of books where married couples sneak off to sex clubs, traumatized badasses still deserve soft love, and no one has to choose between emotional devastation and absolutely unhinged chemistry—you get both.

In her non-fictional life, Brie is a wife, a mom to three brilliantly chaotic boys, and a professional plate-spinner of work, family, and creative obsession. She squeezes writing into the cracks of real life with the help of caffeine, stubbornness, and the occasional feral burst of inspiration. Her happy place is somewhere between a dark, twisty plot idea and a perfectly tender line that makes her cry while she’s typing it.

She writes for readers who want to feel everything: the lust, the longing, the laughter, the ache, and the relief of knowing that love—real, complicated, consuming love—can still win in the end… and look damn good doing it.
