C.J. Welles

An indie romance author from Australia, she’s known for delivering emotionally raw, heart-shattering tales that shamelessly flirt with swoony billionaires, small-town charm, and characters you’ll still be thinking about at 2 a.m. A Tassie girl at heart, C.J. is living her own chaotic romance with her husband, three wild boys, and two fur-babies who actually run the house. When she’s not tangled in her next book, you’ll find her procrastinating with someone else’s, or chasing the sunrise in thongs (flip-flops, not the scandalous kind). Fueled by Billson’s, with Amy Shark on repeat, C.J. writes to the soundtrack of messy love, heartbreak, and healing. She’s the queen of procrastination (forever haunted by half-finished books), a sucker for ugly-cry reads, and will happily binge Hart of Dixie (because #Zade forever). Her stories promise to cut deep, bleed real, and heal messy, and yes, she’ll break your heart before piecing it back together.
