I once read that romance is a lot like a well-made steak—seared on the outside, juicy in the middle, and best enjoyed with a glass of something strong. And honestly? I couldn’t agree more.

Hi, I’m L.A. Mariani, and I write short, steamy romance featuring alpha men who fall hard and heroines who don’t just hold their own—they steal the show. My stories come with sass, heat, and just the right amount of trouble—because love should be passionate, fun, and maybe a little reckless.

I spend my days writing love stories and my nights walking the streets of London, coffee in hand, wondering if the couple I just passed are in the middle of their own "will they/won’t they" moment.

I live for billionaire obsessions, military heroes, stolen glances in office hallways, and love stories set in some of the most breathtaking locations on earth. Whether it’s a city fling in New York, a small-town second chance, or a luxurious escape in Paris, Santorini, or Bali, my books bring the wanderlust with the romance.

📢 Big news! I’ll soon be moving my newsletter to Substack, where romance meets reality. Expect behind-the-scenes chaos, hot book recs, travel diaries, and free reads (because, let’s be honest, we all love a little literary foreplay).

So, if you love strong heroines, devoted alpha men, and stories that make your heart race, stick around. It’s about to get even more fun.
