For books that break and bind you.
Clara James writes steamy romance that doesn't shy away from the mess. Her stories are real and raw—built on bruised hearts, sharp tongues, and the kind of emotional wreckage you don’t walk away from clean. There’s heat, there’s heartache, and there’s always that one moment you have to close the book and feel it.
She doesn’t write fluff. Her characters bleed, cry, fall hard, and fuck harder. They don’t always say the right thing—but when they do, it’ll hit you like a punch to the chest.
Clara draws inspiration from songs that haunt you, stories that stay with you, and real life at its most complicated. Love isn't always pretty—and she likes it that way.
She lives deep in the countryside with her husband, their son, and a wild little pack: three dogs, one unapologetic chinchilla, and a snake who minds his business. It’s peaceful enough to write about chaos, and chaotic enough to keep things interesting.
If you like your romance with heat, hurt, healing, and just enough darkness to make the light feel earned—you’re exactly where you’re supposed to be.
Grab a blanket, a glass of wine, and maybe a fire extinguisher—you're gonna need all three.
