Katee Robert

Katee Robert is a New York Times and USA Today bestselling author of speculative romance, known for stories that pair mythology, fairy tale, or fantasy premises with unapologetically explicit heat. She made her debut in 2012 with an epic fantasy novel she has since said she "hoped would never see the light of day," then worked through young adult and horror before settling into the romance space where she found her biggest audience. Her breakout came with Dark Olympus, a modern retelling of Greek mythology set in a corrupt city called Olympus, beginning with a Hades-and-Persephone story, Neon Gods (2021), and running to eleven books before concluding with Shattered Gods in 2026. Robert also writes the O'Malleys, a dark mafia romance series originally published under different titles before being reissued, and Wicked Villains, a series of fairy tale retellings that center the traditional antagonists — Disney-style villains reimagined as romantic leads. A hybrid author who has worked in both traditional and independent publishing throughout her career, she has sold over two million books. New readers should start with Neon Gods for her signature blend of mythology and romance, since the Dark Olympus books are more tightly serialized than her other series. She lives in the Pacific Northwest and continues to publish new romance regularly.
