Annie Maelstrom writes dark romance, mafia romance, and paranormal romance for readers who want their heroes obsessed, their heroines dangerous, and their drama earned. Her books are built on deep emotional arcs, smart women in impossible situations, and the kind of tension that makes you forget you were supposed to go to sleep three chapters ago.

She splits her time between New York and Ireland — two cities that taught her everything she knows about strong coffee, stronger opinions, and the exact right amount of chaos. She's a mom, a dog person, an espresso martini evangelist, and a caesar salad connoisseur who will absolutely judge your restaurant by its dressing.

Annie started writing because she got tired of reading heroines who made bad decisions for the sake of the plot. She figured if she wanted smart women in dark places, she'd have to put them there herself. Her books don't flinch, but they always deliver — every ending is earned, and every hero is worth the wreckage.
