edit data

Maria Raye is a dark romance and romantic suspense author based in Iceland. Her debut novel, Foundations of Guilt, is the first in The Foundations Trilogy, weaving an emotional story of forbidden love, power, and buried family secrets.

By day, Maria works in the corporate world; by night, she writes stories that explore the balance between strength and vulnerability. Her readers often describe her heroine, Mila, as deeply relatable — strong on the surface, yet tender and flawed underneath.

When she isn’t writing, Maria enjoys going to the gym, traveling, and spending time with her family.
