ABOUT
Meet Kristen Vail – writing love with a side of sweat and spice
Flawed characters, sizzling chemistry, and all the feels you crave!
Hi, I’m Kristen! 👋 I write pulse-pounding sports romance packed with angst, heat, and characters you can’t help but fall for (even when they’re a little messy).
Whether it’s on the field or off, my stories bring all the tension, drama, and happily-ever-afters that romance readers live for.
My writing style…
Expect flawed, relatable characters, heart-racing chemistry, and steamy, emotional stories that will keep you turning pages late into the night. My goal? To bring you stories that hit hard, burn slow, and end in the sweetest HEAs.
Why Sports Romance?
There’s something about the mix of competition, passion, and love that makes sports romance the perfect escape. Whether it's the thrill of the game or the tension in the locker room, I love creating stories that bring you front and center for all the drama—and all the swoons.
