Author bio

Donna Alam writes the kind of romances she once went looking for herself, stories that feel like a holiday for the brain and the heart at the same time. She grew up in the north of England, then packed her bags and spent years moving between countries, including long stretches in Australia and the Middle East, which is why so many of her books lean into big skies, hot climates, and a healthy dose of escapism. (prolificworks.com)

Before she ever thought about publishing, she was the teenager whose English essay got read out in class, proof that she could spin a story about love, loss, and redemption. Real life stepped in, as it tends to do. She wrote listicles for a living for a while, then school notes to explain why her kids were late, and long travel emails to friends while she roamed the world with her family. Enough people told her “you should write a book” that one day she finally sat down and did. (booksonboard.com)

That first manuscript became Pretty Hot, the start of the trilogy that introduced readers to Kate and Kai, a teacher looking for a fresh start in Dubai and the filthy-mouthed billionaire who blows up her plans. When a traditional publishing deal fell through at the last minute, she turned to self publishing instead, choosing control and speed over waiting for permission. It turned out to be the right gamble. (mybookcave.com)

Since then she has built a catalogue of contemporary romances that mostly live in the same delicious universe. Her Hot Scots and Great Scots books follow tartan clad heroes from London to the Highlands, while the Aussies stories chase the Phillips brothers through sun baked vineyards and surf towns. Other series, like No Ordinary Men, Love in London, and My Kind of Hero, lean into powerful men, messy families, and women who refuse to be pushed around. (donnaalam.com)

Readers often discover her through a single book, maybe One Hot Scot, In Like Flynn, or No Ordinary Gentleman, then realise how many of the characters cameo in each other’s stories. Part of the fun is that you never quite know when a grumpy duke, a Russian crime boss, or an Australian winemaker might wander onto the page. What you can rely on are big feelings, explicit heat, and plenty of sharp, flirty banter. (thriftbooks.com)

Alam likes to say she writes about “exotic locations and the men you are not married to but might wish you were”, which is a pretty neat summary of her brand of escapism. Her heroines juggle careers, kids, complicated families, and the occasional terrible decision. Her heroes may be dukes, billionaires, or movie stars, but they are usually the ones doing the emotional grovel by the end. (prolificworks.com)

Away from the keyboard she reads widely, from big, doorstop historical sagas to twisty crime and a whole lot of romance. She has a well documented love of Arabic food, winter clothes, fluffy socks, and cake, even though she is not a fan of the cold that goes with the knitwear. When she does watch TV, it is often historical drama rather than reality shows. (donnaalam.com)

Most days, though, she is at her desk, chasing another couple toward a hard won happy ending with a dog at her feet and a mug of something nearby. Being a USA Today and top 10 Amazon Kindle store author has not really changed that rhythm. The books still start the same way they always did, with a “what if” about two people who really should not work together, then do.
