About the Author

Laila Rafi has a degree in Criminology, which is gathering dust because she would rather spend her days dreaming of her characters falling in love. She has dabbled in Finance and Education, but realised her real calling was putting pen to paper, or more accurately fingers to keyboard and getting lost in a world of happily ever afters.She lives in the heart of London with her boisterous family and when she's not writing or reading romance, she can be found watching almost any sport - though her preference is Formula 1. Her first novel, From Fake to Forever, was shortlisted for the 2023 Katie Fforde Debut prize. First Comes Marriage is her second novel.
