About the Dark Prince Road series

Dark Prince Road is a dark-romance series co-written by L. J. Shen and Parker S. Huntington, a genuine dual-byline collaboration rather than a ghostwritten or pen-name project -- both authors are credited on every cover and retailer listing. My Dark Romeo opens the series in 2023, followed by My Dark Desire in 2024, continuing the "dark" title pattern the two authors have used across the collaboration. My Dark Prince, a dark enemies-to-lovers Sleeping Beauty retelling starring a prince named Oliver and his amnesiac childhood sweetheart Briar, followed in February 2025 as the third book. A fourth, still-untitled book is confirmed to be in the works as of this pass, with pre-order listings live but no title or firm date yet announced.

As a joint project between two established dark-romance authors, the series blends both writers' voices rather than sitting under either author's solo catalogue alone.
