Luana DaRosa

Biography

Luana DaRosa writes about love, longing, and the kind of romantic tension that makes you scream into your pillow. Originally from Brazil, she’s lived on three continents but remains obsessed with stories set in warm, tropical places. When she’s not wrestling with fictional characters who refuse to behave, she’s hoarding yarn for future crochet projects or chasing her bunnies around the house. She now lives in the south of England with her partner (who tolerates the yarn and the bunnies). Find her on Instagram at @authorluanadarosa.gt;
