Hi, I'm Nadine Rae.

I'm so happy you're here.

I write romance for readers who love getting completely lost in a story—but don't always have time to commit to a 500-page novel.

Think of my books as binge-worthy episodes: short, emotional, addictive romances you can finish before bed, on your lunch break, by the pool, or during a slow Sunday morning.

Like so many readers, I grew up completely obsessed with romance novels. I was the kid staying up until three in the morning promising myself, just one more chapter, only to look up and realize I'd finished the entire book before sunrise. Some of my favorite memories are convincing my friends to read the same stories so we could spend hours obsessing over fictional characters who felt just as real as the people in our lives. My goal now is to do this to YOU!

As I got older, became a mom, and started running my own business, I realized I hadn't fallen out of love with reading—I had simply run low on attention bandwidth. Discovering novellas, short stories, and audiobooks reminded me that you don't need hundreds of pages to fall in love with unforgettable characters.

That's the heart behind everything I write.

I'm currently working on my debut novella series, beginning with Worth Ruining—a coastal California romance about falling for the one person you absolutely shouldn't: your brother's best friend. Expect longing, slow-burn tension, stolen moments, heartbreak, and characters you'll find yourself thinking about long after the final page.

This is just the beginning, and I'm incredibly grateful you're here for it.

When you join my reader list, you'll get:

Exclusive bonus scenes
Deleted chapters
Character profiles
Behind-the-scenes writing updates
Cover reveals
Sneak peeks before anyone else
Release-day announcements

More than anything, I hope this becomes a little corner of the internet where romance readers, aspiring writers, and hopeless romantics can escape for a while, discover their next favorite story, and share in the excitement of every new release.

Thank you for being here from the very beginning.

I can't wait to share this journey with you.

With love,
Nadine Rae 🌊🤍
