Lyla Sage is an American author of contemporary romance. She is best known for the Rebel Blue Ranch series, set on a family ranch in the fictional town of Rebel, Wyoming. The series began with Done and Dusted in 2022 and continued with Swift and Saddled and Lost and Lassoed. She also wrote Mile High, the first book in the Denver-based Pucks & Pitchers-style hockey romance series, and other small-town love stories. Her books use familiar romance setups such as enemies-to-lovers, forced proximity and found family, and they close on happy endings. Done and Dusted drew a large readership through word of mouth and social media, especially BookTok, and led to a publishing deal and wide print distribution. Sage's work matters as an example of the recent growth in small-town and rural contemporary romance, and it has sold well to readers who want warm, fast stories with strong ensemble casts.
