Sue Mercury writes sweet + spicy sci-fi, fantasy, paranormal, and monster romance. Big sexy aliens, growly orcs, ravenous fae, and all kinds of protective (and possessive!) otherworldly heroes make her heart go pitter-patter. Her stories feature fated mates, captive brides, arranged marriages, mating bonds, mail-order brides, and intergalactic matchmaking. Sue lives in Maryland with her husband, children, and lots of cats. She also writes darker, naughtier romance under the name Sue Lyndon—but no matter the genre or pen name, her books always deliver a swoon-worthy happily ever after.
