Puerto Rican indie author Yaniré Villegas writes heartfelt queer romance stories about courage, identity, and the importance of being true to oneself. As a member of the LGBTQ+ community, she grew up searching for stories where she could see herself reflected, but rarely found them.
Inspired by that search, she now writes emotional stories where readers can feel seen, understood, and hopeful. When she's not writing, Yaniré enjoys music, films, Thai GL novels, and exploring new ideas that inspire her storytelling.
Through her work, she hopes every reader finds a love story that feels like home.
Open Secret and Why Keep Our Love a Secret? are part of her mission to help change the world—one queer book at a time.
