ABOUT THE AUTHOR
L.J.Shen is an International #1 best-selling author of contemporary romance and new adult novels (her brooding alpha male characters are to die for I must say).
She lives in Northern California with her husband, young son and chubby cat.
She is very active on her social media accounts (I absolutely love her Instagram page), giving her readers the time of the day and engaging with them. I find it amazing and very inspiring that L.J.Shen (although very pretty and super talented) doesnβt feel that her time is more valuable than that of her dedicated readers.
