About Me

Hi, I'm Aria — obsessive plotter of swoony love stories and full-time resident of whatever small town my current characters have dragged me into.
​
I write contemporary romance with heart, humor, and a little chaos — found family, second chances, small towns, and the kind of tension that makes you yell at your Kindle. It all started with my debut, Chasing Infinity, and I haven't looked back since: the Cedar Ridge series (Loathing Ryan, Liberating Bells, Just Josie), a trio of broody artists in the Perfect Art series, and most recently a sports romance with Everything In Between — a book I poured absolutely everything into.
​
I write stories filled with complicated characters, aching romance, sharp banter, and the kind of love that has to fight a little—or a lot—to earn its happily ever after. Whether I’m writing contemporary romance or disappearing into a world of magic, rebellion, and impossible choices, I’m always drawn to characters who feel deeply, love fiercely, and find belonging in unexpected places.
​
When I'm not writing, you'll usually find me obsessing over character art, trope lists, or hanging out with my newsletter people, who get first access to everything — cover reveals, ARC teams, bonus scenes, and more.
​
There's something big and exciting brewing behind the scenes, and I can't wait to bring you along for that ride, too. Thank you for being here, and for making this whole ridiculous, wonderful job possible.
​
Until Infinity,
Aria Harding
