 ong>Adriana Herrera</strong> is a USA Today bestselling and Audie Award-wi
 nning author whose work celebrates characters who look and sound like her 
 community and unapologetically receive their happy endings. Born and raise
 d in the Caribbean\, she has spent the past 15 years living around the wor
 ld due to her career and family life. The New York Times has described her
  work as &ldquo\;sweet\, thoughtful\, and delightfully filthy too.&rdquo\;
 </p>\n<p>When she is not writing romance\, Herrera can be found planning l
 ogistically complex family vacations\, hunting for discounted Broadway tic
 kets\, or working as a trauma therapist in New York City\, where she suppo
 rts survivors of domestic and sexual violence.</p>\n<p><strong>Ali Hazelwo
 od</strong> is the No. 1 New York Times bestselling author of &ldquo\;Love
 \, Theoretically&rdquo\; and &ldquo\;The Love Hypothesis\,&rdquo\; as well
  as a writer of peer-reviewed articles on brain science in which no one ma
 kes out and the ever after is not always happy. Originally from Italy\, sh
 e lived in Germany and Japan before moving to the United States to pursue 
 a PhD in neuroscience.</p>\n<p>Outside of her academic work\, Hazelwood en
 joys crocheting\, eating cake pops and watching sci-fi movies with her thr
 ee feline overlords and her slightly less feline husband.</p>\n<p>Together
 \, Herrera and Hazelwood co-founded <a href="https://ah2romancecollections
 .com/">AH&sup2\; Romance&nbsp\;Collections</a>\, created as a way to build
