Jennifer Hartmann is a contemporary romance author who published her first book in 2020 and has been prolific ever since, releasing seventeen titles in six years. She writes emotional, often heavy stories that deal with trauma, survival, and complicated relationships. Still Beating, released in 2020, was her breakout book. It tells the story of two people held captive together who develop a bond that persists after their rescue, despite the fact that one of them is engaged to the other’s sister. The book’s dark premise and emotional intensity earned it a devoted following among romance readers who prefer stories with higher stakes.
June First (2022) became another fan favorite for its portrayal of a lifelong connection between two characters, told across many years from childhood onward. Hartmann has said that she likes writing stories where the characters earn their happy endings through real suffering, and that tendency is consistent across her work. Her standalone novels make up the bulk of her catalog, but she has also written the Duet series (Aria and Coda) and the Heartsong duet. She tends to write in first person and alternates between the two main characters’ perspectives.
