Hi! I’m Rose Marlow.I write in the in-between moments, usually at 3AM, screaming into a pillow because my imaginary characters went off-script and did something utterly unhinged and completely unexpected.I’m a single mum of two boys, based in Sydney, Australia. Writing is my chance to take a breath, have a giggle, and kick my feet in the air like a lovesick teenager.I am obsessed with hockey romance. I’ve read hundreds. I’ve never been to an NHL game in my life, but I'm across all the lore. The broody captains, the chaotic locker room energy, the “he only softens for her” dynamic? Inject it into my veins.
I live off caffeine, chaotic playlists, and the occasional glass of wine. I’m a sucker for emotional payoff, banter with heat, and slow burns that make you want to bite your fist.Fake dating is my Roman Empire and I love a one-bed trope.
If you’re into smart heroines, emotionally repressed athletes, and characters making terrible choices with the best intentions, let’s be book besties!
