Who is Rina?
Rina Kent is a USA Today, international, and #1 bestselling author of everything enemies to lovers romance.
She's known to write unapologetic anti-heroes and villains because she often fell in love with men no one roots for. Her books are sprinkled with a touch of darkness, a pinch of angst, and an unhealthy dose of intensity.
She spends her private days in London laughing like an evil mastermind about adding mayhem to her expanding universe. When she's not writing, Rina travels, hikes, and spoils cats in a pure Cat Lady fashion.
How Did it Start?
At the tender age of five, I fell hopelessly in love with a villain from an obscure indie film. When he met his untimely end, I sobbed inconsolably, wailing that it simply wasn’t 'fair.' My family watched, half-amused, half-bewildered, as I stood up for the misunderstood bad guy.
From that moment on, I realized that anti-heroes, villains, and society's outcasts were the characters that fascinated me the most. As I grew up, my vivid imagination and natural gift for storytelling led me down a path where morally grey men became my muse. I made it my mission to be their voice and give them the endings they deserve.
It began with tales of monsters but soon evolved into stories about the fierce women brave enough to love them.
