Hey there, beautiful people! I'm Sara Cate, and I write steamy, emotional romance that'll make you blush, swoon, and possibly throw your Kindle across the room (please don't though—those things are expensive!).
I never expected to end up here, writing spicy romance novels that push boundaries and explore the grittier side of love. But life has a funny way of leading you exactly where you need to be, even when you think you're lost. Before I started writing, I was just another bookworm who devoured romance novels like they were chocolate during PMS (which, let's be honest, I still do).
My journey into writing started the way most great love stories do—unexpectedly. I had all these characters living rent-free in my head, demanding their stories be told. And let me tell you, they weren't interested in sweet, vanilla romance. No, my characters wanted something darker, edgier, and definitely steamier. Who was I to deny them?
When I wrote "Keep Me," I knew I was taking risks. A grumpy, damaged hero who wants nothing to do with love? A marriage of convenience that's anything but convenient? Sign me up! Killian Barclay walked into my head one day, scowling and carrying more emotional baggage than an airport carousel, and I knew I had to tell his story. (And yes, I fell a little in love with him myself—don't tell my husband!)
Here's the thing about my books: they're not your mama's romance novels. I write about complex characters who are beautifully flawed, relationships that are messy and real, and love that burns so hot it might set your e-reader on fire. There's angst (because who doesn't love emotional torture?), steam (the kind that fogs up your reading glasses), and endings that make all the heart-wrenching moments worth it.
When I'm not writing, you can usually find me: - Binge-reading other romance authors' books (research, I swear!) - Consuming concerning amounts of coffee - Trying to convince my family that yes, writing steamy scenes IS a real job - Connecting with readers on social media (seriously, y'all are my favorite people)
My writing philosophy is pretty simple: love isn't always pretty, but it's always worth fighting for. I believe in pushing boundaries, exploring taboo themes, and creating stories that stick with you long after you've read "The End." If you're looking for safe, predictable romance... well, I'm probably not your girl. But if you want stories that make your heart race, your palms sweat, and maybe make you a little uncomfortable (in the best way), pull up a chair!
To my readers: you're the reason I keep writing these emotionally chaotic, steamy stories. Your messages, reviews, and support mean everything to me. When you tell me you stayed up until 3 AM because you couldn't put my book down, or that you ugly-cried during THAT scene, it makes all the long writing hours and caffeine-fueled plotting sessions worth it.
What can you expect from my books? - Heroes who are definitely not prince charming (but you'll love them anyway) - Heroines who aren't afraid to fight for what they want - Chemistry that'll make your Kindle spontaneously combust - Emotional depth that'll punch you right in the feels - Steam levels that'll make you fan yourself in public - Plot twists that'll keep you guessing - And endings that'll make your heart happy (eventually)
If you're ready to dive into stories that'll push your boundaries and make you feel ALL the emotions, welcome to my dark and steamy corner of the romance world. Just remember: I warned you about the emotional rollercoaster you're about to board!
Let's connect on social media—I love hearing from readers, sharing sneak peeks, and fangirling over fictional characters together. Because let's be honest, sometimes book boyfriends are better than real ones (just kidding... mostly).
Welcome to my world of complex love stories, steamy scenes, and characters who'll live in your head rent-free. I promise to keep the angst high, the steam higher, and the happy endings worth every tear-jerking moment along the way.
XOXO, Sara
P.S. If you need me, I'll be in my writing cave, surviving on coffee and the tears of my readers. (I mean that with love, I swear!)
