Behind the pen name Rue Wilde is a woman who writes like she’s running out of time—about obsession, secrets, and slow kisses that come with consequences.
I believe love should burn a little. That the best stories make you ache. That villains can still be worth saving—if they want to be.
Welcome to the shadows. I’ve been expecting you.
Ever wonder what kind of mind dreams up possessive bodyguards, forbidden kisses, and dark plot twists that ruin your sleep schedule?
Rue Wilde writes from the edge - of the bed, the bathtub, the abyss - wherever the voices are the loudest. Whether it's a line of dialogue that won't let go or a scene that begs to get messy, Rue's process is raw, instinctual, and just a little bit feral.
Plotting? Sometimes.
Vibes? Always.
The rules? Broken on purpose.
What inspires the angst, the heat, the heartbreak? It's a mix of obsession and alchemy. Rue's stories live in the tension between what characters want and what they can't have.
Expect:
-Bodyguards who'd burn down the world
-Women who don't ask for permission
-Slow burns that absolutely scorch
-And villains who look a little too good doing terrible things
