About Kay

Portrait of Kay Lockwood

Kay Lockwood writes romance. She loves a love story with something at stake: a secret, a rivalry, a choice between the truth and the person you can't bear to hurt. Her stories move between sweeping settings and quiet, close moments, and always end somewhere hopeful.

Her debut, The Secret Society Initiation, introduced readers to scholarship student Clara Hayes and the boy she can't afford to trust. Its sequel, The Second Circle, raises the stakes and tests whether love can survive honesty. More stories are on the way.

Kay grew up reading everything she could get her hands on, and now writes the books she always wanted to find on the shelf. She lives surrounded by notebooks, half-finished cups of tea and a to-be-read pile with a mind of its own.
