Rae Lipari

Rae Lipari is a romance author from northeast Ohio, where the weather keeps you guessing and the stories never stop unfolding. She grew up with a deep love for books, small towns, and the quiet kind of magic that lives between the pages.

She began writing as a creative outlet—turning emotions, memories, and daydreams into love stories that celebrate healing, connection, and second chances. Now, she writes cozy, emotionally layered romances that explore what it means to come home to yourself and to the people who matter most.

When she’s not writing, Rae is usually spending time with her family, chasing after her two kids, or sneaking in one more cup of coffee.
You Were Always the One is her debut novel and the first in the Whispers Beneath the Pines series.
