About Celeste Kaide

I've always lived between worlds, the one you can see and the one that hides in shadows. I write stories for the ones who crave more than a happy ending. Stories where love is earned through fire, where magic has a price, and where the most dangerous thing you can do is fall. My books will make you feel too much. They'll keep you up past midnight, heart racing, breath caught. They'll break you open and put you back together differently. Welcome to my darkness. I think you'll find it feels like home.

What Readers Are Saying

They came for a story. They stayed for the obsession.

"This book had me hooked from the auction scene and never let go. The chemistry is intense, the power dynamics are chef's kiss, and the billionaire vibes are next level. Dark, sexy, and completely consuming."
— Misty
The Devil's Bid
"This book had everything in it, great storyline, action, passion, sadness, possessiveness! My first book by Celeste Kaide and I couldn't put it down. Run, don't walk to read this great book!"
— Amanda
His Queen To Break
"Fantastic and drew me in instantly. One of the best wolf shifter books I have read. Elements that did not follow the beaten path all too common for these types of books."
— S.S.
Destined to Break Free
"Coming from someone relatively vanilla, this was an interesting read. Made me more curious about the Dom/Sub dynamic. The sex scenes were well described and hot. Will definitely check out other books by the same author!"
— William Lee
His Rose, Her Ruin
"Strong female lead. The male lead is firm and doesn't go super soft. Very steamy but also has a strong plot. I enjoyed it a good bit."
— Cherron
Burning For Daddy
"I loved how Nate never stopped waiting for Eliza and was unafraid to just be himself! I felt so bad for him when he misunderstood that phone call, I was waiting for his mom to come knock him upside the head!. Eliza seemed like most authors I know when they get in their heads and start doubting themselves, so happy she learned to be confident in herself. Overall I really loved reading this one!. If you are looking for a cute quick Valentine's read, I highly suggest adding this one to your list!"
