About the author

L.S. Layne

I write romance novels that move beyond standard tropes to deliver both the escape readers crave and a deep dive into the complexities of what it means to be human.

My characters, like many of us, walk a fine line between being a hero and a villain. Beta readers have described my debut novel as a dynamic, emotional roller coaster that grips you from the very beginning and doesn’t let go until the very end.

If you are a contemporary romance reader looking for a fresh, nuanced exploration of timeless themes like love, forgiveness, and redemption with a happily ever after, then order your copy of my debut novel Enough today.

What beta readers said

“L.S. Layne has created a masterful piece of work for her debut novel. This book will take you through an emotional rollercoaster in the best way. This book has everything: family, doubt, love, and betrayal. What more could you ask for? A must read.”

Enough was a highlight of my reading year. The perfect mix of heartwarming and heartbreaking, L.S. Layne’s debut novel is full of magnetic characters, complicated relationships, and a romance that will sweep you off your feet. A stunning rendition of what it feels like to fall apart, then piece yourself back together again. This needs to be on your TBR.”

“I read through the whole book twice to really try to grasp its full complexity, and was amazed at how many crumbs and instances of masterful foreshadowing and weaving I saw on the second go-around, not to mention the fact that the emotional impact was still there on the second time through…amazing.”
