Lara Steele writes romance for the girls who love broken men, fast machines, and stories that hurt a little before they heal. She’s the author of Redline Hearts, Faster Than The Train, and the Dusty Hollow series, where you’ll find street racers, bikers, cowboys, and fiercely strong women who are learning how to rebuild their lives—and their hearts. A tattoo apprentice and artist based in Arizona, Lara pulls inspiration from desert sunsets, back roads, and the beautiful chaos of real life. She lives with her boyfriend and daughter, who are her biggest supporters and her greatest motivation. She believes in stories about second chances, found family, and choosing love even when it’s terrifying. If her characters are a little reckless and love a little too hard—that’s on purpose.
