M.D. Engel

Marin never met her brother's best friend, and yet somehow, in the middle of a dark, crowded speakeasy, she ends up sitting on his lap. The accidental encounter leaves them both undeniably turned on. Zarek knows he’s not supposed to be into her, his best friend said no—he doesn’t listen. Her brother said he’s off limits—she doesn’t care. What starts as a sizzling moment quickly sparks a forbidden romance neither can ignore.

About the Author

M.D. Engel

M.D. Engel writes at the intersection of science fiction and romance, leaning into everyday conversational tones, familiar tropes, and flawed but lovable characters. Because let’s be honest, not every book needs to be deep to be enjoyable.

By day, they work at a fast-paced start-up, which makes stress management a must. To stay balanced, M.D. Engel turns to reading, gaming, physical fitness, and now, writing. Their stories pull from real-life experiences and are filled with the humor and heart of everyday moments. At the end of the day, they write for one simple reason: fun.
