Kitty King

Hey there, dark romance lovers! I'm Kitty King, and I write the kind of steamy, twisted college romance that would make your academic advisor clutch their pearls. (Let's be real - those ivy-covered halls are hiding some deliciously dark secrets.)

Writing wasn't my first career path, but storytelling has always been in my blood. I spent years devouring every dark romance I could get my hands on, always searching for those stories that lived in the shadows between consent and obsession. You know the ones - where you're not quite sure if you should be rooting for the hero or running from him. Turns out, those were exactly the stories I was meant to write.

My debut novel "Red Night" introduced readers to the dangerous world of Theta Rho Zeta, where one red envelope can change everything. I love exploring those moments when attraction turns to obsession, when a single night spirals into something much darker and more complicated. (And yes, I may have drawn inspiration from my own college days... though I'll never tell which parts actually happened!)

If you pick up one of my books, expect morally gray characters who'll keep you up at night - both clutching your kindle and questioning your own desires. I write the kind of steamy scenes that'll make you blush on your morning commute, paired with psychological tension that'll have you checking over your shoulder. My heroes (or should I say anti-heroes?) aren't looking for redemption. They're looking for possession, and they always get what they want.

When I'm not writing about dangerous fraternity presidents and the women who fall into their web, you can find me curled up with my rescue cat Midnight (yes, I'm that kind of cat lady), probably drinking way too much coffee and plotting my next twisted romance. Fair warning: I have a slight obsession with red wine, true crime documentaries, and creating characters who definitely belong in therapy.

I believe the best dark romance walks that razor's edge between pleasure and pain, consent and coercion. My stories aren't for everyone - and I'm totally okay with that. If you're looking for sweet, safe romance, you might want to look elsewhere. But if you live for those stories that make you question everything you thought you knew about desire? Pull up a chair, pour yourself something strong, and let's get dark together.

To my amazing readers who've joined me on this journey - thank you for embracing the darkness with me. Your messages about staying up until 3 AM to finish "Red Night" make my day (even if your boss might hate me for it). I'm just getting started, and trust me, the Theta Rho Zeta world has so many more secrets to reveal.

Fair warning: my books come with trigger warnings for a reason. I write about obsession, possession, and the kind of love that burns everything in its path. My characters aren't role models - they're the people you hope never to meet in real life but can't resist on the page. If that's your thing, welcome to the dark side. We have cookies. (And red envelopes.)

You can find me on Instagram and TikTok, usually posting thirst traps of my book boyfriends or behind-the-scenes peeks at my writing process. I love connecting with readers, so don't be shy! Just remember - what happens in the Theta Rho Zeta house stays in the Theta Rho Zeta house... unless it ends up in my next book.

Ready to lose yourself in a world of dangerous desires and red envelopes? Grab "Red Night" and see why readers are calling it their guilty pleasure of 2023. Just don't blame me if you start looking at your local fraternity house a little differently...

XOXO, Kitty 🖤

P.S. Yes, Kitty King is my real name. No, I won't tell you how I got it. Some secrets are better left in the dark... 😉
