Hi, I'm Rae!

I'm a transgender woman writing spicy romances where transgender women get to fall madly in love, be desired wholeheartedly, and experience the messy, beautiful connections that make their happily-ever-afters so deeply personal.

My debut takes place in a small Midwestern town, but don't worry if that's not your style. I've got plans for fantasy worlds, darker romances, and paranormal realms, too! Just know that whatever the setting, there will always be a trans woman heroine.

Meet my debut novel

Rae Winslow's debut novel

After Hours in Brenview

Small-town · Age-gap · Contemporary romance

Hailey Crawford is addicted to coffee, has THE most unhinged best friend, and is determined to keep things professional at the small-town brewery she's been sent to modernize.

Then things get complicated when she meets Ray Schrader—the stoic, broad-shouldered, infuriatingly handsome silver fox who owns the place. Did I mention he's nearly twenty years older?

He also has a maddening ability to make her forget why she swore off dating in the first place.
