Barbara J. Hancock

Barbara J. Hancock is an American author of paranormal romance and gothic fiction, based in Virginia. Her Brimstone series, including Brimstone Bride, Brimstone Prince, and Brimstone Seduction, builds a mythology around demonic bargains and forbidden desire, while the Legendary Warriors series, with titles such as Legendary Wolf and Legendary Beast, moves into shapeshifter romance centered on warriors bound by ancient curses or duties. Hancock's earlier work, including Hunger and Captured, shows a similar interest in danger-tinged romantic suspense. Several of her Brimstone and Legendary titles have also been released together in bind-up editions pairing two entries at once. Across two main series and a broader backlist of gothic-tinged romantic fiction, her work consistently favors atmospheric, high-stakes pairings between human protagonists and supernatural or legendary figures.
