About the author

J.J. Wren

J.J. Wren writes romantic suspense about people who discover that the safest choice and the right choice are rarely the same thing.

The New Dawn series combines relationship-driven tension with small-town power, dangerous secrets, military and undercover characters, and the kind of attraction that becomes much harder to ignore once somebody starts shooting.

When not writing, Wren draws inspiration from the Gulf Coast: quiet water, changing weather, and the knowledge that the horizon can look peaceful right up until it isn’t.
