Claire Highton-Stevenson is an award-winning British indie author who writes heart-stirring, steamy, and unputdownable sapphic romance. Her stories celebrate bold, complex women who love women—whether they’re navigating the spark of first attraction, fighting for second chances, or daring to believe in love against all odds.
Her work has been recognised internationally, including:
• Goldie Award Winner – The Promise (2019)
• Rainbow Award Winner – The Doll Maker (2019)
• International Book Award Finalist – Escape and Freedom (2020)
• International Book Award Finalist – The Promise (2020)
When she’s not writing, Claire is usually plotting new ways to surprise her readers, exploring the South Coast of England, or spending far too much time on the terraces cheering on her football team.
Known for her versatility, Claire moves effortlessly across tropes—sometimes playful, sometimes dark, but always deeply emotional.
Readers come for the chemistry and the slow-burn (or sometimes fast-burn) heat, and stay for the unforgettable characters and the rollercoaster journeys she takes them on.
