Scarlett Lockhart

Scarlett Lockhart was born and raised in the heart of Toronto, where the city lights sparked a lifelong fascination with beauty hidden in the shadows. A devoted reader of dark romance long before she ever picked up a pen, Scarlett eventually gave in to the whisper of her own characters and once she started writing, she never looked back.

By day, she works in a high-stakes world, saving lives with steady hands and a calm heart. By night, she disappears into stories filled with obsession, danger, and the kind of love that doesn't play by the rules. The line between light and dark has always intrigued her and her books walk it unapologetically. When she's not writing, you'll find her tending to her garden, breaking a sweat in the gym, or sharing quiet moments with her dogs, her fiercest protectors and biggest fans.

Scarlett Lockhart writes for the reader who doesn't mind getting a little lost, a little bruised, and completely consumed by love that burns as much as it heals.
