Lucy Parker lives in New Zealand, where she feels lucky every day to look out at mountains, lakes, and vineyards. She has a degree in Art History, loves museums and art galleries, and doodles unrecognizable flowers when she has writer’s block.

When she’s not writing, working or sleeping, she happily tackles the towering pile of to-be-read books that never gets any smaller. Thankfully, there’s always another story waiting.

Her interest in romantic fiction began with a pre-teen viewing of Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice (Firth-style), which prompted her to read the book as well. A family friend introduced her to Georgette Heyer, and the rest was history.

I have a standalone coming up next, and will be returning to the London Celebrities series, and I hope to have news about a new series soon too. x(less)

MISDIRECTED releasing on 4th February

I hope everyone had a lovely holiday period and New Year!

As usual, time is flying by already (I don't know what happened to 2024—not the best year for a lot of us, but it also felt like the quickest year of my lifetime.)

So hard to believe that it's almost February already, but very excited that my first Audible Original, MISDIRECTED, is releasing two weeks from today on the 4th February. Narrate Read more of this blog post »

Quotes by Lucy Parker  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“My personality has not once altered under outside influence." "Then I'm genuinely appalled, and your childhood nannies have my intense sympathy. You've got a bit of a nerve, don't you think, accusing other people of vanity? You make Mr. Darcy look like the poster child for low self-esteem.”
Lucy Parker, Act Like It

“Christ, we've only been here for five minutes. It's like being stuck in the Tardis. Time has lost all meaning." He turned away to ditch his cocktail glass, thus missing Lainie's gobsmacked expression. A Doctor Who reference from her second-least-favorite person? Wonders never ceased.”
Lucy Parker, Act Like It

“God, I love you.”
Lainie lifted her hands and laid them over his, linking their fingers. “Do you?”
“More today than yesterday.” He tilted her chin up with his thumbs. “More now than an hour ago. By the time I die at ninety of a sex-induced heart attack, I expect I’ll love you in a way I can’t even comprehend.”
Oh...
Lucy Parker, Act Like It
