Rosemary Rogers

Hi! I'm Rosemary Rogers, and I write dark romance that walks the razor's edge between seduction and destruction. (Fair warning: My villains don't play nice, and neither do I.)

I've always been fascinated by the dangerous side of desire – you know, those deliciously toxic relationships that you know are wrong but can't resist? Yeah, those. Growing up devouring romance novels, I kept finding myself drawn to the "bad" characters, the ones who weren't supposed to get the happy ending. I'd close the book thinking, "But what if they did?" That's where my writing journey began.

When I started writing "Bad Boy Player," I wanted to create something that would make readers squirm in their seats (in the best possible way). I'm talking about that perfect mix of "Oh god, I should NOT be rooting for this person" and "...but I totally am." My TV host heroine had no idea what she was getting into – but then again, neither did I when I started writing their story! The feedback I got from readers who stayed up until 3 AM to finish it (sorry about those dark circles under your eyes, loves) told me I wasn't alone in my appreciation for morally questionable men.

"Hollywood Player" came next, because apparently, I wasn't done exploring the darker side of Tinseltown's glitter. There's something irresistible about setting a dark romance in a place that's all about facades and false promises, right? (Plus, who doesn't love a toxic hero with a movie star smile?)

Here's the thing about my books – they're not for everyone, and I'm totally okay with that. If you're looking for sweet, wholesome romance where everyone makes good decisions... well, you might want to keep scrolling. But if you like your love stories with a hefty dose of psychological warfare, manipulation, and chemistry so intense it should come with a warning label, pull up a chair. We're going to get along just fine.

When I'm not writing about beautiful disasters falling in catastrophically in love, I'm probably binge-watching true crime documentaries (research, I swear!), drinking way too much coffee, or plotting my next morally ambiguous hero. My cats judge me for all of the above, but they still haven't figured out how to work the can opener, so they're stuck with me.

My writing philosophy is pretty simple: I believe the best stories happen in the gray areas. My characters aren't heroes or villains – they're messy, complicated people making questionable choices in the name of love, power, or sometimes both. I write the kind of books that make you question your own moral compass while frantically turning pages to see what happens next.

What can you expect from a Rosemary Rogers book? Intense, psychological dark romance that'll keep you up at night. Complex characters who probably need therapy but get steamy scenes instead. Plot twists that'll give you whiplash. And endings that might not be traditionally "happy," but are always satisfying (even if you feel a little guilty about enjoying them).

To my readers: thank you for joining me in this beautiful darkness. Your messages about staying up all night reading, throwing your Kindle across the room (please don't actually do this), and falling in love with characters you know you shouldn't – they make all the late-night writing sessions worth it.

And to those who haven't read my books yet? Come on in. The water's deep, dark, and deliciously dangerous. Just how we like it.

(P.S. Yes, my mom has read my books. No, we don't talk about it at family dinners. Some things are better left unsaid.)
