About Cara Hollis

Cara Hollis writes the kind of romance that doesn’t apologize for itself — dangerous men, darker devotion, and happily-ever-afters earned the hard way.

Her stories live in two worlds. In Kansas City, the Kavanagh family runs an empire built on loyalty, blood, and debts that never stay settled — the kind of Irish mafia romance where the violence is real and the love is fiercer for it. In Chicago, a trio of billionaires carry their own kind of damage behind glass towers and tailored suits, men who learned the hard way that trust, protection, and loyalty all come with a price.

Different cities. Different power. Same unshakable rule: the heroes fall first, they fall hardest, and they don’t let go.

Cara believes dark romance works best when the darkness lives in the world and the stakes — not in how the hero treats the woman he loves. Her heroines are never helpless, never naive, and never collected like something to be owned. They’re competent adults who get pulled into worlds they didn’t choose, and they walk out the other side having chosen it for themselves.

When she’s not building empires and breaking hearts on the page, Cara is probably deep in a Photoshop file, designing the covers herself — because if a book is going to promise a certain kind of trouble, she wants the cover to mean it.

She’s currently at work on the Dark Gilded Billionaires series and the Kavanagh Irish Mafia series, two corners of one very dangerous universe.
