If someone told a young Sayara St. Clair that one day she would be an erotic/paranormal-romance-writing Aussie expat living in Thailand, she would have snort-laughed and yelled, “You. Be. Crazy!”
If someone told her the same thing now, she would not yell, only nod solemnly. Because that actually happened.
Sayara has a science degree, with majors in both microbiology and biochemistry. Working in the fields of serology and tissue banking, she got to do lots of cool and sometimes slightly weird stuff. She was employed as the manager/buyer for furniture retail stores, where she had a chance to unleash her inner interior decorator. (Interior design is one of her great passions.) And for a time, she taught English to students in Asia. (Hanging about in a roomful of extremely loud, pint-sized humans is not one of her great passions.) She has written ads for TV, print and radio; real estate brochures; website copy; and a screenplay. Now she’s writing fiction and has discovered it’s her favorite thing to do.
When not writing, she may be most commonly found in a horizontal position reading, in the kitchen baking, or somewhere else singing at the top of her lungs. She loves music and is prone to spontaneous bouts of dancing.
With regards to vampires and chocolate: she bites one on a daily basis and has had a lifelong obsession with the other. And she’s not telling which one’s which.

Erica had always felt protected and cherished by Dante from when she was still a child, always making her feel as though she mattered. Her respect for Dante grew into longing for him until the moment he broke her heart. She ran away to Paris, but even then, she didn't forget the man who “was so devastatingly handsome, so powerful and dangerously sexual.” When Erica returns, Dante is not thrilled, even though he had secretly craved his best friend's sister. Now she wants to learn about BDSM and wants Dante for a teacher. It's complicated because Dante is co-owner of the club with her brother, Chris. But Erica seems to be the fire that will make Dante ache like hell, not in his arms, but in those of someone from his past, someone deadly.
Yearn For You by Sayara St. Clair is a sizzling romance that shouldn't be read in public places, and this is a fair warning, for right from the prologue the reader is treated to a tantalizing moment of a sexual encounter, wild and utterly arousing. But that isn't the point of this novel. Sayara St. Clair puts a fire in the hearts of her readers as they watch the drama that unfolds in this narrative. There are moments so intimate, so sensual that they make readers forget their surroundings, and the author shares interesting details in the descriptions. Yearn For You is a novel for mature readers, sensually intense and featuring very sophisticated characters. Written in beautiful prose and rich in plot points and conflict, it is one of those books that keep readers awake through the night.
