S. R. Lane lives in Paris, where she alternates between teaching high school English and strolling from bookstore to bookstore, looking for more books to add to her already-towering shelves. After studying Shakespeare, gender, and sexuality at the Sorbonne, she fell in love with romance and romance scholarship. She is especially drawn to queer love stories, messy characters with a sense of agency, a strong setting, and a truly deserved HEA.
Lane debuts with a steamy, thoughtful queer romance set in 2024 Paris. ...This smart, sexy romance marks Lane as a writer to watch. --Publishers Weekly Lane effectively frames her stunningly romantic, exquisitely sensual debut against a perfectly evoked Parisian backdrop, while at the same time deftly charting Nicholas's realistically nuanced journey to naming and claiming his sexual identity. As heart-wrenching yet infinitely hopeful as any ballad sung by Edith Piaf, this prompts the exclamation: c'est magnifique. -Booklist
