Liliana Hart

Liliana Hart is an American author of romantic suspense and mystery, and one of the more prominent success stories of the independent-publishing wave that began in the early 2010s. A former teacher and musician, she self-published her first novels rather than pursuing a traditional contract, and went on to become a New York Times and USA Today bestseller across several long-running series -- most notably the JJ Graves mysteries, the Addison Holmes mysteries, and the MacKenzie family romantic-suspense novels, the last of which grew into a shared world other authors were licensed to write in. Her books tend to pair procedural mystery structure with romance, often carried by wry first-person narration, and she has been unusually active in collaborative and multi-author projects -- box sets, shared universes, and co-written titles -- which is how she most often appears alongside other writers in a catalogue like this one. In this catalogue she is credited as a co-author on Jay Crownover's Avenged, a collaboration between the two writers rather than a title from either of her own solo series.
