Susan E. Smith
Full of action and adventure, rich relationships, and three dimensional worlds filled with characters you fall in love with--what more can a reader ask for?! My stories bring to life heroines who are strong, smart, and innovative and heroes who are pure alpha with a vulnerability that will melt your heart. Fast-paced, the stories always contain twists and turns when you least expect them and will keep you turning the page to find out what happens next.
With over 4 million books sold worldwide, it is no wonder that readers say they reread my stories over and over again and always discover something new!
