Katelynne R.
Katelynne is a Pennsylvania-born, Utah-based dark romance author with a love for morally gray characters, psychological tension, and stories where love is every ounce of dangerous as the world they live in. When she's not writing romances that are absolutely devastating, she's working on pursuing a bachelors in Criminal Justice. Her obsession with psychology, criminal behavior, true crime, and the justice system heavily influence the worlds and characters that she creates. She's often running on too much caffeine (pretty sure I'm 75% Alani at this point) and a Taylor Swift playlist, she spends most of her time working on new ways to absolutely ruin her own emotions, making sure each story hurts long after the book is closed.
Ink & Oaths is dark mafia romance that follows Casira De Luca, the daughter born into one of the city's most dangerous and powerful crime families, who finds herself hunted by a relentless stalker while falling for the man who's been lying to her all along.

FAQs
1. Do your books involve dark themes?
Yes, and I highly advise you read the content warnings prior to actually starting to read them. They involve typical dark romance elements (violence, power dynamic / imbalances, etc.). Like I said, please, please, please read the content warnings. You can find in depth ones here.2. Do your books need to be read in order?
I would recommend it, because they're not really super-standalone. Although Book One and Two are one couple, Book Three is another couple, and Book Four is the third, there's some plot issues that.. may be confusing if read out of order.3. Do your books have HEAs?
Spoilering this because it could likely be a little.. spoilery for a couple books so far. Click at your own risk!
If this doesn't answer enough, you can reach out on Instagram / Threads / literally any social media and I'd love to babble about it. ♡4. When is the next book coming out?
Ink & Oaths is scheduled to release Fall of 2026.5. Will we get to see more of X character?
Probably. Full transparency, I have like.. 10 books plotted out for Silent Oaths and the Standalone-Yet-Connected series. I am totally in love with this universe and have 0 intentions of cutting it anytime soon.6. Do you write closed-door versions of your books? If so, where can I get them?
No. Well. Technically yes, they do exist, but they're distributed only to people I actually know since copies have to be ordered specifically for this and are not available on eBook or in stores.7. Can I join your ARC/Street Teams?
ARC and Street Team openings will be announced on social media, but I absolutely would never be mad if you reach out to ask just incase I have spots available!8. Where can I find your books? Any special goodies?
I'll link this once I have more specifics that I can share!!9. Any upcoming signing/events that you're planning on attending?
