edit data

Isla Starling writes emotionally charged, angsty, contemporary romance with a forbidden edge. Her stories explore age-gap dynamics, complicated desires, and the kind of tension that keeps you turning pages late into the night. A proud mom and animal lover, Isla lives in the US with a house full of chaos and cuddles (courtesy of her many pets). When she’s not writing, she’s usually lost in a book, chasing her kids and pets, or plotting her next forbidden love story.
