Annabel Joseph is a New York Times and USA Today Bestselling BDSM romance author. She writes mainly contemporary romance, although she has been known to dabble in the medieval and Regency eras. She is recognized for writing emotionally intense BDSM storylines, and strives to create characters that seem real-even flawed-so readers are better able to relate to them. Annabel also writes non-BDSM erotic romance under the name Molly Joseph.
