Cara McKenna writes romance and erotica with an emphasis on messy, real-feeling characters. She became known for her frank approach to desire and her willingness to write protagonists who are rough around the edges. Her books often feature working-class heroes and heroines navigating complicated attractions, and the stories tend to be more grounded and character-driven than the genre norm.
Her largest series is Desert Dogs, a five-book set of small-town romances published between 2014 and 2017. She also wrote the Wilinski’s trilogy for Harlequin Blaze, the Sins in the City trilogy, and the Flynn and Laurel duology. Alongside those series, she has produced a large catalog of standalone novels and shorter fiction. McKenna also publishes under the name Meg Maguire.
