To her shock, it soared to #2 on the New York Times bestseller list, launching a career that would change her life.
Inspired by her love for storytelling and a desire to create complex, relatable characters, Bromberg found her groove in romance. Her life as a busy mom—plotting novels between school runs and soccer practices—infuses her work with authenticity, making her stories resonate with readers worldwide.
