L. R. Loucks is Lindsey R. Loucks’s steamy contemporary romance pen name. She’s a USA Today bestselling author who lives in the Midwest. When she's not discussing books with anyone who will listen, she's dreaming up her own stories. Eventually her brain gives out, and she'll play hide and seek with her cat, put herself in a chocolate-induced coma, or watch scary movies alone in the dark to re-energize.
