Becka Mack
Becka Mack is a Canadian contemporary romance novelist best known for her hockey-centered Playing for Keeps series, including Consider Me, Play with Me, and Unravel Me. Her fiction blends humor, emotional drama, and romantic tension, and she is described by publishers as a #1, USA Today, and internationally bestselling author.
Biography & Author's Journey
Becka Mack emerged from an Ontario, Canada, upbringing steeped in hockey culture and romance reading. Publicly, she has described herself as the kind of child who was always reading, often drawn to love stories, and as a student who cared deeply about writing, even winning school writing and English awards. Before becoming widely known as a novelist, she worked as a kindergarten teacher, a detail that has remained central to her author persona because it highlights the contrast between her day job and her emotionally charged adult romance fiction. The major turning point came after the death of her brother in 2018, when therapy led her back to creative work; she began writing seriously around the start of 2020, using fiction both as a grief outlet and as a way to rebuild purpose.
