Leigh Rivers
Leigh Rivers is a Scottish biomedical scientist turned dark-romance novelist who writes morally gray, trauma- and obsession-driven stories.

Biografía y Trayectoria del Autor
Leigh Rivers is a Scottish author whose published biographical notes place her unusual point of entry into fiction in plain view: before she became widely known in romance, she was working as a biomedical scientist. Her public profiles emphasize that scientific background more than any formal literary education, which helps explain part of her identity as a writer: she did not emerge through a conventional academic writing route, but from another profession entirely. The same profiles also present a grounded personal life alongside the work, describing a household with her husband, two sons, and four dogs, and a routine that balances writing with reading, gaming, exercise, and pole training.
