Kaia Ryder

From the mists of Alabama's haunted coastline comes a storyteller who dances with shadows and collects dark tales like others collect shells. A seeker of the strange and curator of the unexplained, Kaia finds her muse in abandoned places where reality feels thin and monsters might be real. After dark, you'll find her hunting local legends, exploring haunted halls, or penning stories where villains deserve happy endings and shadows know how to love. Her novels exist in that delicious space between terror and desire, where fear raises goosebumps but attraction makes you stay. Armed with bourbon-laced coffee and an obsession with the unexplained, she crafts romances for readers who understand that sometimes the most dangerous creatures make the best lovers. When not corrupting beloved tropes or investigating things that go bump in the night, she's by the shore, plotting ways to make you fall in love with monsters. Because in Kaia's world, the things that haunt us are often the ones worth loving most. Welcome to the shadows. They've been waiting for you.
