Orion Fiction falls head over heels for Huntington and Shen’s My Dark Romeo

Orion Fiction has acquired My Dark Romeo and two further books in the Dark Prince Road series from authors Parker S Huntington and L J Shen.

Rhea Kurien, editorial director, acquired UK and Commonwealth rights from Kimberly Brower at Brower Literary Agency and Management. Orion will publish My Dark Romeo in e-book on 14th August, with the paperback to follow on 21st September.

In the novel, self-published in March 2023, a broody billionaire meets his match when he tricks a wealthy heiress into marrying him. The publisher continues: “They can’t stand each other… but it’s not long before hatred turns hot in this enemies-to-lovers dark romance perfect for fans of Lauren Asher and Ana Huang.”

Kurien said: “After noticing the real demand for this trend, I’d been looking for a great billionaire romance when I read My Dark Romeo it’s hilarious and irreverent. Some of the scenes between lazy heiress Dallas and broody billionaire Romeo had me howling with laughter. Parker and L J have so many fans already, and I can’t wait to introduce many more readers to the Dark Prince Road series."

Huntington commented: “Having spent sweaty childhood summers in Potomac, Dark Prince Road, its characters, and the unique setting are near and dear to my heart. I wanted this world to reflect my fond memories of the DMV – the laughter, the family and friendships, and the diversity. I can’t think of a better partner than Orion to introduce this series to readers."

Shen said: “I’m happy to be partnering with Orion for this project. The Dark Prince Road series is full of twists and turns and delicious banter. Each hard-earned happily ever after is crafted to tug at your heartstrings, so buckle up and join us on this journey.”
