Hi, I'm Samantha.

I write slow burn romance about the messy parts of healing, the jokes you make to survive, and the one person who finally gets it.

Samantha Lovelock

The Long Answer

I write the books I wanted to read when I needed them most.

I grew up on a steady diet of my mum's thrillers, rock and roll, and bad poetry nobody will ever see. Somewhere between my messy twenties and a new beginning, I started writing the stories I wanted to read. Romances woven with twisty mysteries. Characters who have baggage and are figuring out how to unpack it. The kind of friendships most of us want but are hard to come by.

My books are steamy slow burn, New Adult, and most (but not all) are full of mystery and suspense. But underneath all of that, they're about healing, noticing the small things, and the people who stick around even when you're hard to love.

When I'm not writing, I'm re-reading the books that have always been there for me, re-watching the same three comfort shows, making playlists for characters who don't technically exist yet, and probably busily annoying both my husband and my cat.
