M. K. Hayes

M. K. Hayes has always been drawn to what people hide: not only the dramatic secrets, but the smaller, more dangerous ones—the version of themselves they perform in public, the shame they keep private, and the line they swear they would never cross until they are already standing on the other side of it.

Influenced by stories of masks, obsession, desire, and everything left unsaid, Hayes writes dark, sensual psychological romance about power, shame, control, and people who justify what they want until they barely recognize who they have become.

When not writing, M. K. Hayes works a regular nine-to-five and is probably thinking about the next wrong thing two people should not do.
