Jennifer Bonds is the USA Today bestselling author of more than a dozen contemporary romance novels, including the award-winning Waverly Wildcats series. She’s a sucker for messy emotions, chaotic characters, and enemies to lovers stories with laugh-out-loud banter and over-the-top grand gestures.

While she’d like to tell you she’s always loved reading, it just wouldn’t be true. In second grade her mom had to bribe her to read (and learn multiplication tables), but by the time she reached middle school she was hopelessly addicted to all things fiction. Amazingly, it didn’t help her popularity level, but did inspire her to write her first book, which (thankfully) is buried in the basement where it will never see the light of day.

Ten years of professional insanity and one MBA later, Jennifer decided to take a chance and pursue her dream of writing. Because, honestly, what could be better than spending your days reading and writing swoonworthy romance?

Jennifer lives in Pennsylvania, where her overactive imagination and weakness for reality TV keep life interesting. She’s lucky enough to live with her own real-life hero, two feisty tween, one rambunctious K9, and a pair of chaotic kittens. Loves Buffy, Mexican food, a solid Netflix binge, the Traitors, cupcakes, and all things zombie. Sings off-key.
