Meredith Duran

Meredith Duran is an acclaimed American author, well-known for her series of books, Rules for the Reckless. Duran's love for British history, which began with her fascination with Anne Boleyn, led her to set many of her novels in 1880s Britain and Victorian England. Her storytelling is greatly influenced by this era, and she has a knack for creating captivating narratives that keep readers engaged.

Duran has written twelve novels throughout her career, all published by Pocket Books. Her debut novel, The Duke of Shadows, has been translated into thirteen languages and was ranked among the top 100 romances of all time by NPR and All About Romance. The book's success established Duran as a formidable talent in the romance genre. Her other notable works include RITA award winner Fool Me Twice and her February 2017 release, A Lady's Code of Misconduct.

A Lady's Code of Misconduct received significant critical acclaim and was called one of the best romances of the year by BookList and Amazon. The novel received starred reviews from Publishers Weekly and Kirkus, with the latter praising the book's enchanting narrative: "This book weaves its spell so thoroughly that the most fortunate reader will be the one who has time to read the entire thing in one sitting." Duran's next release, THE SINS OF LORD LOCKWOOD, is set to hit the shelves on February 27, 2018, and is highly anticipated by her fans.
