A Hayat

Hey there, dark romance lovers! I'm A Hayat, and I write the kind of stalker romances that'll make you check your locks twice before bed. (Don't worry, I promise that's a compliment!)

Growing up between cultures taught me that love stories aren't always sweet and simple. They can be messy, dangerous, and absolutely addictive. I spent years devouring romance novels behind my textbooks, dreaming up twisted tales of obsession and desire that would probably have gotten me some concerned looks from my teachers. But hey, the best stories come from those dark corners of our imagination, right?

When I started writing the "Bound to Follow" series, I knew I wanted to create something that would push boundaries and make readers squirm (in the best possible way). Mariana and Amir's story began haunting me during late-night writing sessions, fueled by way too much coffee and the kind of silence that makes your imagination run wild. Their tale of obsession, stalking, and dangerous desire just wouldn't let me go – kind of like Amir with Mariana, if we're being honest!

I love writing about the fine line between love and obsession. There's something deliciously unsettling about a romance that makes you question your own moral compass. Should you be rooting for the stalker? Probably not. Will you anyway? Absolutely. (I won't tell if you don't!)

The "Bound to Follow" series starts with "Until You're Mine," where we meet Mariana, a sweet bookshop owner in Mexico City who has no idea she's caught the attention of someone who won't take no for an answer. Through each book – "Behind Every Step," "Obsessed With You," "Silent Watcher," "Prison of Longing," and finally "Invisible Threads" – we watch their twisted relationship evolve into something that's equal parts beautiful and terrifying.

Fair warning: my books aren't for the faint of heart. I write dark romance with emphasis on the DARK. We're talking stalking, obsession, possessiveness, and the kind of love that borders on madness. There are trigger warnings for a reason, and I take those seriously. If you're looking for a sweet, clean romance... well, you might want to look elsewhere! (Though I'd love to corrupt you to the dark side!)

When I'm not writing about dangerous men and the women they're obsessed with, I'm probably planning my next series or chatting with readers on social media. The dark romance community is incredible, and I love connecting with fellow lovers of the twisted and taboo. Your theories and reactions keep me going through those tough writing sessions!

My writing philosophy? Push boundaries, challenge comfort zones, and never apologize for exploring the darker side of desire. Every story I write comes with a healthy dose of "This is wrong but why does it feel so right?" Because let's face it – sometimes the best romances are the ones that make us question everything we thought we knew about love.

What can you expect from my books? Intense, obsessive love stories that'll keep you up at night (for various reasons). Complex characters who definitely need therapy but would rather choose chaos. Steamy scenes that'll make you fan yourself. And endings that might not be traditionally happy, but are perfect for the twisted journey you've just experienced.

So if you're ready to dive into a world where love and obsession dance a dangerous tango, where consent is complicated, and where happy endings come with a side of psychological trauma... welcome to my dark little corner of the romance world. Just remember to bring your flashlight – and maybe leave your moral compass at the door.
