Sage
St. Claire

Romance Author

Sage St. Claire is the author behind the addictive Grovewood Ink series — a steamy, inked-up saga of tattoo artists, mended hearts, and love stories that burn as hot as the South Carolina streets. Known for her fierce heroines, emotionally scarred bad boys, and slow-burn heat with explosive payoffs, Sage’s books are a must-read for romance lovers who like their passion inked deep and written boldly.

About Sage

Sage writes full-time from her home in Central Texas, where she lives with her own book boyfriend, two kiddos, a rotating collection of houseplants, and far too many coffee mugs. When she's not writing? She's probably people-watching in a coffee shop, building Spotify playlists for fictional characters, or dreaming up new ways to break her readers’ hearts.

With the Grovewood Ink series, Sage explores themes of redemption, found family, and the undeniable power of touch — both with ink and love. If you’re into brooding artists, fiery banter, and chemistry that crackles off the page, you’re exactly where you belong.

Let’s talk about working moms
I’m an indie author who has written and published 5 full length novels. I manage my own social media. I also work a 40+ hour a week job and have two kids to keep up with. Next time you’re wondering why you feel so behind everyone else or like you’ll never be successful in this industry just remember, there’s a pumpkin and a half eaten babybel cheese next to my ring light for making content 😅
WE’RE ALL DOING OUR BEST

when I said I needed inspiration for my next series, I didn’t mean wanted to spiral down a Sleep Token rabbit hole...except I did 😏🤣🖤

✨World Mental Health Day ✨
Today is a reminder to check in—with yourself and with your heart. 💚

Sometimes the world feels so heavy, and our minds crave a little escape. That’s where beautiful stories come in, especially romance stories.

Because inside the pages of a love story, we find
🖤 Hope, even after heartbreak
💫 Gentle reminders that healing is possible
📖 A safe space to feel deeply, laugh, cry, and believe in happy endings again

For those who have never traveled to Grovewood, I’ve taken the time to point out a few of the mental health topics you’ll find between the pages of these books.

Escaping into a romance novel isn’t running away—it’s giving your mind time to rest, recharge, and remember that love (in all its forms) is worth holding onto. 💖

So today, take care of your mental health. Brew some tea, grab that book that makes your heart warm and cozy, and let yourself feel.

🔥 BRING ME BACK – OUT NOW 🔥

https://tinyurl.com/2c4m9en2

She’s been running from her past.
A single mom with secrets carved into her skin, walls built high enough to keep anyone out.

But not me. Never me.

I’ve been there through every heartbreak, every sleepless night, every time she needed someone to lean on—and I never once asked for more. Until now.

Because the truth is, I’ve always wanted her.
And when she finally lets those walls crack, I’ll give her everything—every filthy promise, every slow kiss, every rough edge of the man who has always been hers.

💋 Bring Me Back is a friends-to-lovers, small-town, single mom romance about healing old wounds, giving in to desire, and finding out that sometimes your forever has been right beside you all along.

📖 He fell first. He fell hard. And he’s never letting go.

Do you know how many thousands of books there are in the friends to lovers category?! For mine to break top ten is so unbelievable. 12 yr old me would literally never believe it. But god, is she proud 🥹

✨ He’s always been there. But this time, he won’t just hold her together—he’ll claim her completely.

Bring Me Back is coming September 14th! Are you ready to take the chance?
