About the Author
Rebecca J. Caffery is a queer romance author from Birmingham, UK, whose stories celebrate love, electric chemistry, fierce emotion and found families. She rediscovered her passion for writing in 2017 during a study abroad year in Canada, and sheβs been writing one too many enemies-to-lovers tropes since.
Rebecca is best known for her high-octane F1 romances, Pole Position (2024) and First to Finish (2026), where fast cars meet even faster hearts. With hopes to expand her writing repertoire into small-town romances, she continues to craft stories that celebrate queer love in all its intensity and joy.
When sheβs not writing, Rebecca can be found devouring queer romance novels, binge-watching romantic dramas and romcoms, or passionately (read screaming at her TV) supporting Arsenal Womenβs football team and McLaren Formula One Team.
