Ayla Ruse
Ayla Ruse
Author · 5 books

Handed a historical romance as a teen-ager, Ayla Ruse fell in love with love and with happy endings. Having grown up living life tasting a little of this and a little of that has not changed this attitude, but it's expanded her views. Love isn't always happy and it isn't always the way a person "thinks it should be." Sometimes it's outside the box, and it's always a challenge. The challenge of finding and holding onto this love is what drives Ayla in her fiction. She likes stories that strip love -– among other things—down to the skin and tests the attachment and beliefs of the participants. Sometimes that test can come in the form of multiple partners, overcoming a desperate fear or even being sexually inventive. Ayla is published with Changeling Press and with Totally Bound.
