About Ana Huang
Ana Huang is a Chinese American bestselling novelist whose contemporary romances have become an international publishing phenomenon. Best known for the Twisted and Kings of Sin series, she writes emotionally intense love stories featuring powerful personalities, complicated relationships, and characters struggling with trust, vulnerability, and past trauma. Her fiction ranges from billionaire romance and romantic suspense to sports romance, combining sharp dialogue, strong romantic tension, and the promise of emotionally satisfying endings.
Born and raised in the United States to Chinese immigrant parents, Huang discovered storytelling at an early age. Her mother encouraged her to write as a way of improving her English, and what began as a childhood exercise gradually developed into a lasting creative interest. She later shared fiction online through Wattpad, gaining experience with serialized storytelling and building connections with readers.
Huang’s early writing career developed alongside work outside publishing. Before becoming a full-time novelist, she worked in communications, an experience that contributed to her understanding of marketing and audience engagement. Her initial venture into independent publishing included All I’ve Never Wanted (2013), a contemporary romance that preceded the series responsible for her eventual breakthrough.
Her publishing career gained momentum in 2020 with the If Love series. Beginning with If We Ever Meet Again, the four-book collection explores relationships complicated by distance, friendship, ambition, and changing personal circumstances. Its first two novels form a continuing romance between Blake Ryan and Farrah Lin, while the remaining instalments feature different couples within a connected social circle.
The defining turning point came with Twisted Love (2021), the opening novel of her Twisted series. Centred on Alex Volkov and Ava Chen, the story combines a guarded, wealthy hero with a more optimistic heroine whose complicated family history becomes increasingly important. Its mixture of emotional intensity, romantic suspense, and darker relationship dynamics established the style that brought Huang widespread attention.
The series expanded through Twisted Games, Twisted Hate, and Twisted Lies, each concentrating on a different couple while maintaining connections among the central characters. Its popularity grew significantly through BookTok, where readers shared recommendations, reactions, and discussions of the novels’ memorable romantic dynamics.
Huang subsequently developed Kings of Sin, a contemporary romance series inspired by the seven deadly sins. Beginning with King of Wrath (2022), the novels follow wealthy and influential characters whose carefully controlled lives are disrupted by complicated romantic attachments. The series explores themes such as pride, greed, jealousy, and ambition through relationships involving powerful business figures and women determined to preserve their independence.
Her Gods of the Game series introduced another dimension of her writing through professional football. The Striker (2024) follows English football star Asher Donovan and former ballerina Scarlett DuBois, blending competitive sport, professional pressure, and romantic tension. The series continued with The Defender (2025), further developing the interconnected world of elite football and personal relationships.
Although her major series have distinct settings and central characters, Huang has established connections across her fictional worlds. Familiar personalities occasionally appear outside their original books, creating a broader contemporary romance universe without requiring every story to follow one continuous narrative.
Her commercial success has been substantial. Her novels have sold more than 25 million copies worldwide and have been translated into thirty-four languages. She has topped the New York Times, USA Today, and Sunday Times bestseller lists, becoming one of the most recognisable authors associated with the contemporary romance boom of the 2020s.
Her work has also attracted significant attention from the entertainment industry. Netflix is developing an adaptation of the Twisted series, while Amazon MGM Studios has acquired the Gods of the Game novels for film development.
Outside writing, Huang enjoys travelling and solving crossword puzzles. She has visited nearly forty countries, drawing inspiration from different locations and cultures for her fictional settings.
Huang’s storytelling is distinguished by its combination of emotionally guarded protagonists, strong romantic chemistry, and relationships shaped by conflicting ambitions and difficult personal histories. Across her billionaire, contemporary, and sports romances, she explores how individuals accustomed to independence or control respond when love requires them to confront vulnerability. Her ability to combine recognisable romantic conventions with interconnected characters and dramatic emotional conflicts has established her as a major commercial voice in modern romance fiction.
