Abigail Barnette

The alter-ego of USA Today Bestselling Author Jennifer Armintrout, Abigail Barnette was born during a conversation with author Bronwyn Green, who encouraged Jennifer to develop an elaborate fantasy persona-- complete with nom de plume-- under which to pen erotic romance. Abigail enjoys long naps in fairy-filled glades, running through corridors in tragically romantic haunted castles, and drinking goblet after goblet of spiced wine.

Can he trust himself to love her as she deserves?"Exploration and eroticism dressed in silks and lace corsets dance across the page [...] the need between these two vibrant characters is nearly engulfing enough to burn a reader's fingers as they eagerly flip through the pages." -Coffee Time Romance
