About Me

Hi, I'm Aria — obsessive plotter of swoony love stories and full-time resident of whatever small town my current characters have dragged me into.
I write contemporary romance with heart, humor, and a little chaos — found family, second chances, small towns, and the kind of tension that makes you yell at your Kindle. It all started with my debut, Chasing Infinity, and I haven't looked back since: the Cedar Ridge series (Loathing Ryan, Liberating Bells, Just Josie), a trio of broody artists in the Perfect Art series, and most recently a sports romance with Everything In Between — a book I poured absolutely everything into.
I write stories filled with complicated characters, aching romance, sharp banter, and the kind of love that has to fight a little—or a lot—to earn its happily ever after. Whether I’m writing contemporary romance or disappearing into a world of magic, rebellion, and impossible choices, I’m always drawn to characters who feel deeply, love fiercely, and find belonging in unexpected places.
When I'm not writing, you'll usually find me obsessing over character art, trope lists, or hanging out with my newsletter people, who get first access to everything — cover reveals, ARC teams, bonus scenes, and more.
There's something big and exciting brewing behind the scenes, and I can't wait to bring you along for that ride, too. Thank you for being here, and for making this whole ridiculous, wonderful job possible.
Until Infinity,
Aria Harding
