CAITLYN. DARE

Hey there, dark romance lovers! I'm Caitlyn Dare, and I write the kind of books that probably shouldn't be read in public (unless you enjoy explaining why you're blushing and squirming in your seat to random strangers).

Let me tell you a secret - I never meant to write dark romance. I was that quiet girl in high school who always had her nose buried in a book, usually something with vampires or fae princes. But those stories? They were missing something. The edge. The darkness that lives in all of us. The delicious thrill of watching someone fall for the person they absolutely shouldn't want.

So here I am, writing stories about morally gray heroes (okay, let's be honest - sometimes they're just straight-up villains) and the women who bring them to their knees. My Heirs of All Hallows' series? That's my baby. It's where all my twisted fantasies about elite private school politics, dangerous secrets, and forbidden romance come to life. And apparently, you guys are just as twisted as I am, because you keep coming back for more!

I write bully romance with bite. My heroes aren't just mean - they're calculating, possessive, and usually hiding secrets that would make your grandmother faint. (Sorry, Nana!) But there's always a reason for their brutality, and watching them fall desperately, obsessively in love? That's the sweet spot.

If you've read "Brutal," you know what I mean. Raine's story was the first one that clawed its way out of my brain and onto the page, and it set the tone for everything that followed. "Spiteful" and "Jealous" pushed those boundaries even further. Trust me, there's plenty more where those came from - my brain is like a dark romance plot factory that never shuts down.

When I'm not writing about gorgeous psychopaths falling in love (kidding... mostly), I'm probably curled up with my rescue cat, Villain (yes, that's really his name - he earned it), drinking way too much coffee, and plotting new ways to torture my characters. I live for those messages from readers telling me they stayed up until 3 AM because they couldn't put the book down. Sleep is overrated anyway, right?

Here's what you can expect from my books: - Heroes who are walking red flags (but so hot you'll ignore them all) - Heroines who give as good as they get - Sexual tension that'll make you need a cold shower - Plot twists that'll give you whiplash - Spice that'll make you check twice to make sure you're reading in private

Fair warning: my books aren't for everyone. If you're looking for sweet, gentle romance where everyone plays nice... you might want to look elsewhere. But if you like your romance with a heavy dose of darkness, manipulation, and steam that'll fog up your kindle? Pull up a chair, grab your favorite wine, and let's get dangerous together.

I'm always hanging out on Instagram and in my Facebook reader group (The Dare Devils - come join us!), probably sharing too many teasers and definitely enabling your book addiction. Because let's face it - we're all here for the same reason: to escape into worlds where the bad guys get the girl, redemption comes with a price, and love hurts in all the best ways.

Want to know the best part about being a dark romance author? Building this amazing community of readers who understand that sometimes the best love stories start with hate. You guys get me. You get that sometimes the most beautiful relationships bloom from the darkest places.

So if you're ready to dive into stories that'll keep you up all night, make you question your morals, and leave you desperate for more... you're in the right place. Welcome to the dark side - we have cookies (and extremely problematic book boyfriends).

XOXO, Caitlyn

P.S. Villain says hi (actually, he just knocked my coffee mug off the desk, but I'm choosing to interpret that as affection).
