About Kate
Sensational Romance – Where Desire Meets Destiny
I specialize in spicy romance where characters matter as much as chemistry and satisfaction sizzles.
Whether you choose my 🔥🔥🔥🔥 character-driven stories or my 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 scorch-your-eyelashes reads, you’ll find contemporary romance to satisfy your every whim.
With several published romances under my belt, including a Booksellers Best Award finalist, I love delivering heat levels that leave you fanning yourself and characters who steal your heart.
My Romance Journey
My stories unfold in vibrant Canadian cities, from Vancouver’s gleaming towers to Calgary’s dynamic energy, with escapes to smaller gems like Victoria or a side trek to oooh-la-la LA in California. These sophisticated urban landscapes provide the perfect backdrop for passionate encounters and modern love stories.
When I’m not writing, you can find me hiking the hills above an azure lake in beautiful British Columbia, ignoring the smoke alarms blaring from the kitchen, or endlessly renovating my house.
Official Bio
Kate St. James writes sizzling hot contemporary romance starring bold women, irresistible men, and the kind of chemistry that sets off smoke alarms. She lives in Canada with her adoring family, who keep dropping by for “homemade” cookies no matter how often she threatens to change the locks.
When not engrossed in her fictional worlds, you can find Kate lazing in her PJs until noon, hiding dust bunnies, or scrounging up the last piece of dark chocolate she swore she wouldn’t eat. Again.
“Here’s a little secret. I have another writing identity who specializes in sweeter steamy romance. When super-charged spice isn’t what you’re craving, my sweeter twin Cindy Procter-King delivers contemporary romance with heart, humour, and happily ever afters that won’t result in spontaneous combustion.”
The best part about having a writing twin? We can keep you satisfied no matter what mood you’re in. Sign up for The CindyKate, our shared newsletter delivering everything from steamy to spicy and scorch-your-eyelashes reads, plus the inside scoop on our writing adventures.
