L. Rae writes YA dystopian romance with an emphasis on relentless momentum, found-family bonds, and the kind of slow-burn chemistry that keeps you turning pages. Escaping the Primary—Book One of the Escaping series—introduces a world of gas raids, erased memories, and impossible choices, where love becomes both a risk and a reason to fight. Rae’s work blends high stakes with emotional payoff, aiming for that sweet spot between heart-racing and heart-aching. Fans of The Hunger Games, Legend, and Red Queen will recognize the crackling tension and rebellious spirit, with a romance that stays YA while still bringing the heat. Off the page, Rae is forever hoarding story prompts and scribbling lines on the backs of receipts. Follow L. Rae on Amazon for new release notices, behind-the-scenes peeks, and series news.
