Our Story

The Hearts Collective started the way a lot of good things do — a group chat between authors who kept recommending each other's books to their own readers anyway, and figured they might as well make it official.

We're independent, self-published romance authors writing across every corner of the genre: sports bad boys, gritty biker and billionaire romance, and small-town rom-com. What we have in common isn't a subgenre — it's a shared belief that a happily-ever-after is worth the whole journey to get there.

This site is home base: one list to join for release news from every author in the collective, one catalog to browse when you're not sure what you're in the mood for, and one place to find whichever author's world you want to fall into next.

Thanks for reading. We mean that — self-published authors don't have a marketing department; we have readers who tell their friends. That's you. Welcome to the collective.
