Laurens, Stephanie: - #1 New York Times bestselling author Stephanie Laurens began writing romances as an escape from the dry world of professional science.

The majority of her works are set in the period of the British Regency. Laurens has published over 75 works of historical romance, including 40 New York Times bestsellers. Laurens has sold more than 20 million print, audio, and e-books globally.
