Christine Zolendz (pronounced Zo-lends) is a bestselling romance author, known for writing intense, emotional stories that stay with readers long after the final page. Since 2011, she has independently published novels that blend passion, heartbreak, resilience, and unforgettable character journeys, often exploring the darker sides of love and survival.

Based in New York City, Christine balances her love of storytelling with life as a wife and mom to two teenagers. Along with writing, she is also an illustrator, creating bookish stickers, bookmarks, and more through her Etsy shop, Stickers by Bookish Owl.

She believes the best stories are the messy ones—the ones where characters fight for their happy endings through chaos, betrayal, and hope.

When she’s not lost in fictional worlds or sketching new designs, you’ll usually find her buried in a pile of books, sipping strong coffee, and dreaming up her next fierce love story.

Christine loves connecting with readers who crave emotional, powerful romances that linger long after "The End."

Picking up the pieces of my mother’s affair and her lies,
That is all I have ever done and known.
I gave up everything,
I gave up him,
To find my place in this world.
And now, I am back in the middle of it all again,
And he sees me as nothing more than a carbon copy of her,
A tramp just...
