Cara Ravelli
Cara Ravelli is a psychologist and author who writes emotionally charged contemporary romance where desire is never safe, love never plays by the rules, and truth hurts as much as it tempts.
Her stories live in the space between burning restraint and irresistible obsession, where stolen intimacy always comes with consequences you cannot forget. Cara is obsessed with characters who make the wrong choices for the right reasons and only discover who they are in the beautiful wreckage that follows.
Readers know her for slow burn intensity, unapologetic sensuality, and raw psychological depth. Her novels don’t just get read, they linger, they haunt, they shake things up. She loves to set her stories in hidden corners of Europe—snowy villages on Lake Geneva, secret cafés, midnight artist studios where the smallest touch can change everything.
She writes somewhere in Europe, fueled by strong black coffee, sleepless nights, and an almost suspicious addiction to complicated stories—the kind that hurt, the kind that heal, and the kind that refuse to be simple.
Her books are not about perfection. They are about truth.
You can find her books and audiobooks on all major platforms. For behind-the-scenes content, audio exclusives, and ARC opportunities, follow Cara Ravelli on your favorite social platform.

She was my Darkness
Every year, thirteen black-sealed invitations slip through Geneva’s shadows, summoning strangers, lovers, and liars to the legendary Villa Diodati. The rules? Thirteen guests. Thirteen stories. Every tale must be true or the Villa takes a piece of your soul as payment.
But this isn’t some bougie masquerade with overpriced wine and moody lighting. The masked host is none other than George Byron himself. Yes, that Byron: poet, scandal-magnet, and, thanks to a two-hundred-year-old curse, the Villa’s immortal master of ceremonies. For centuries, he’s seduced and discarded, desired without memory, lusted without love. Just the way the curse likes it.
Until Mira Hartley stumbles into the garden—tipsy, reckless, and absolutely unimpressed by dead poets with god complexes. She doesn’t flinch. She doesn’t swoon. She laughs in Byron’s face. And when he kisses her, it’s not temptation, it’s a warning. Because for the first time in centuries, Byron feels something he shouldn’t: hope.
"To Lord Byron. Cursed poet, scandal-maker, and maybe the first true father of dark romance. This book is yours as much as mine."
