Author bio
Alisha Rai writes romance novels that make room for desire, family baggage, work stress, ambition, and the odd problem caused by the internet. Her books range from intimate, high-heat early romances to contemporary rom-coms, paranormal stories, and a young adult novel.
Before publishing fiction, Rai worked as a lawyer. That background fits her fiction surprisingly well. Her characters often have busy professional lives, complicated obligations, and a sharp sense of what is at stake when personal choices collide with public expectations.
Her first published book arrived in 2009. In the years since, she has written independently published work as well as novels with major publishers, while continuing to build stories around characters who do not always see themselves reflected at the center of traditional romance.
The early Pleasure books, including Glutton for Pleasure and Serving Pleasure, are frank, emotionally charged romances with food, family, and desire woven through the stories. Cabin Fever and Night Whispers show another side of her range, taking romance into snowy paranormal suspense and a dangerous post-apocalyptic world.
Then came the Vegas-set Bedroom Games novellas, which follow former sweethearts Tatiana Belikov and Wyatt Caine as they try to turn intense attraction into something steadier. The Fantasy books follow Elizabeth Harding and Luca Santos through a second-chance relationship complicated by secrets, power, and the gap between a polished public image and private wants.
Her later contemporary work brings the same interest in complicated people to a broader, modern setting. In the Forbidden Hearts trilogy, old scandals and a bitter feud between two families keep getting in the way of love. Hate to Want You, Wrong to Need You, and Hurts to Love You each center a different couple, but the family history connects every book.
The Modern Love novels look at dating apps, social media, celebrity, privacy, anxiety, and the strange pressure of being seen online. The Right Swipe pairs a dating-app founder with a former football player. Girl Gone Viral follows a private former model whose ordinary coffee-shop conversation turns into internet spectacle. In First Comes Like, a beauty influencer and a Bollywood star are pushed into a very public fake relationship.
Rai also brings that mix of warmth and chaos to Partners in Crime, a Las Vegas adventure romance about exes, family secrets, and a very inconvenient kidnapping. Her young adult novel, While You Were Dreaming, follows a teen whose cosplay disguise turns her into an anonymous viral hero while her family needs to stay out of the spotlight.
Romance is never just an escape hatch in these books. It is also where people have to be honest about fear, trust, family, and what they want next.
Rai lives in Los Angeles with her husband and son. She has also spoken and written about romance, media, and the value of making the genre more welcoming to a wider range of readers and characters.
