About Aulia Rausch
Aulia Rausch writes romance about people who are very good at their jobs and very bad at asking for what they want. Her heroines are conservators, actuaries, marine biologists, storm chasers, ghostwriters, travel nurses, wedding singers — women with a skill they trust considerably more than they trust themselves. Her heroes are usually standing between them and the thing they are about to lose.
