Adaline Winters

Adaline Winters writes heroines who bite back and the alpha males who fall to their knees because of it. Known for weaving sizzling tension with deadly twists, she delights in leading readers through stories full of betrayal, desire, and the kind of cliffhangers that leave you cursing her name—and still begging for more. If there’s one promise she makes, it’s this: her heroines will never go quietly, and her heroes will never come out unscathed.

She lives in England’s Lake District, where the scenery is dramatic, the weather is stubbornly grey, and the dog in her house is somehow even more chaotic than her characters. Her husband and daughter are used to conversations being interrupted by sudden mutterings about plot twists or declarations l

Samantha Ziegler

Samantha always dreamed of being an author. But the tipping point? Watching Season 8 of Game of Thrones.

That was the start of it all, when Samantha decided she would take charge of her own story, and picked up the pen. She wanted to create characters and worlds as captivating as Westeros, but with far more satisfying endings.

She thought she could, and so she did.

Samantha currently lives in Missouri with her wonderful and supportive boyfriend, and her adorable pit bull, Nathan.

She is an absolute nerd and reads as many nonfiction books as fiction, especially books about writing, marketing, and self-betterment. Her favorite TV show is The Magicians and her favorite band is Manchester Orchestra. She'll try just about anything... except skydivin
