Tracey Livesay is an American attorney turned romance novelist who began publishing in 2014. Her debut series, In Love with a Tycoon, introduced the blend of witty dialogue, professional ambition, and emotional sincerity that defines her style. She writes contemporary romance with Black protagonists and has been recognized as part of a wave of multicultural romance that gained mainstream visibility in the 2010s and 2020s.
Her American Royalty series, which begins with Bedmates (2016) and continues with American Royalty (2022) and The Duchess Effect (2023), has been her most commercially prominent work. The series follows a fictional Black American rapper who becomes entangled with British royalty, combining celebrity romance with social commentary on race, privilege, and public identity.
Her other series include Shades of Love and Girls Trip, both of which follow Black professional women navigating romance alongside career ambitions. Livesay’s legal background informs her attention to character interiority and the way her characters think through the stakes of their decisions.
