Jaime Pasquier is a #1 Amazon Best-Selling Author who writes history, philosophy, and fiction exploring the forces that shape human character and political destiny. His books grow out of a rich family tradition stretching across continents and generations—where questions of exile, survival, and moral inheritance echo through both his life and his work.
Educated in economics at George Mason University and the humanities at Marymount University of Virginia, Jaime also draws on more than forty years as the founder and CEO of his own financial services firm. This background allows him to bring a unique, multidisciplinary lens to stories about power, morality, and the quiet decisions that alter the course of lives and nations.
In his #1 bestseller, The Virtuous Life: Ancient Wisdom for Modern Living, he traces the philosophical traditions that built Western civilization and asks whether we still possess the character to sustain it. In The Laws of Desire, he turns two thousand years of writing on love toward the way we court, connect, and disconnect today.
His historical fiction opens these same profound questions through a different door. The Last Aristocrats follows a French peer's murder, staged death, and long exile across two continents. Meanwhile, The Scandal That Shook the Throne and its Spanish-language companion, Cuarenta y Siete Puñaladas, move through royal courts, political intrigue, and the moral trials that define ordinary people in extraordinary moments.
Jaime writes in English, Spanish, and French, and lives in Washington, D.C., where he continues to research and write works that bridge historical insight with contemporary relevance.
