Jennifer Probst wrote her first book at twelve years old. She bound it in a folder, read it to her classmates, and hasn’t stopped writing since. She holds a master's in English Literature and lives in the beautiful Hudson Valley in upstate New York.

Her family keeps her active, stressed, joyous, and sad her house will never be truly clean. Her passions include horse racing, Scrabble, rescue dogs, Italian food, and wine—not necessarily in that order.

She is the NYT, USA Today, and Wall Street Journal bestselling author of sexy and erotic contemporary romance. She was thrilled her book, The Marriage Bargain, spent 26 weeks on the NY Times. Her work has been translated in over a dozen countries, sold over a million copies.

Probst has pursued career paths such as travel agent, yoga teacher, dating coordinator, and insurance salesperson. She’s been fascinated by the idea of being an airline pilot, a dancer, an archaeologist, and a vineyard owner, embodying these roles through her romance novels.

Joining the Romance Writers of America and the Hudson Valley RWA was a turning point in her career, where she developed her skills to achieve a publishable manuscript. Her "overnight success" was twenty years in the making, highlighting the importance of polishing craft, learning, growing, and working hard.

Her leisure time is spent reading, traveling to meet her readers, watching reality television, and raising two active boys. She believes animals are other children in this world and enjoys spending time at the local animal shelter. All her fur babies, past and present, hold a very special place in her heart.

She met the love of her life after giving up on her romantic journey. Their story began over sushi and led to domestic bliss, teaching her that it’s about happy beginnings, not happy endings.
