A little twisted, sometimes sweet, often dangerous.

Rii Raffaella is a San Francisco–based romance author who writes love stories with a little bite—sometimes sweet, sometimes dangerous, always sexy. Raised in a mixed-race family shaped by both Asian and Western cultures, her books reflect layered identities, bold choices, and relationships that don’t play by the rules. Her characters love hard, make questionable decisions, and chase connection like it might ruin them—in the best way. When she’s not writing, she’s chasing late-night food, building playlists to match a mood, or getting lost in stories that blur the line between comfort and obsession. She writes for readers who want romance that feels a little riskier, a little bolder, and impossible to forget.
