Meet A.K. Moore: A New Voice in Clean Romance

At Beaver Lake Books, we’re always excited to introduce readers to fresh voices with stories that inspire, entertain, and linger long after the last page. Today, we’re thrilled to welcome A.K. Moore, whose debut novel, A Matter of Trust, has just been released. If you’re a fan of small-town settings, heartfelt romance, and faith-driven storytelling, you’ll want to pull up a chair, pour yourself a cup of tea, and get to know her.

A.K. Moore isn’t just a writer—she’s a lifelong musician, teacher, and incurable romantic. Her stories are filled with heart, hope, and a touch of heaven. At the core of her work is the belief that love, when rooted in faith, has the power to change lives.

Her first book, A Matter of Trust, sets the tone beautifully. It’s a tale woven with faith, second chances, and the kind of romance that feels both timeless and deeply personal. Readers who enjoy clean romance with spiritual depth will find themselves right at home.

A Writer with a Song in Her Heart

When Moore isn’t crafting her own love stories, you can usually find her with her nose buried in a book—she reads nearly one a day! That love of storytelling shines through in her own writing. Her characters are relatable, her towns feel lived-in, and her romances balance tenderness with the struggles of real faith.

Music is also a constant thread in her life. Whether she’s teaching or performing, melody and rhythm often find their way into her stories. It’s one of the things that makes her writing so distinctive: her words carry a musicality that lifts them off the page.

Living with Passion, Purpose, and Prayer

Moore describes herself as someone who lives with “passion, purpose, and prayer.” She believes in happy endings, not just the fictional kind, but the ones rooted in godly love. With her curly red hair, a cup of tea never far from reach, and a heart overflowing with songs and stories, she brings a touch of warmth and authenticity to everything she does.

Her debut may be the first time readers are meeting her, but it’s clear this is only the beginning. She’s already hard at work dreaming up new stories that blend romance, faith, and the beauty of everyday life.

What is Clean Romance?

Clean romance is a subgenre of romantic fiction characterized by the absence of explicit sexual content. Clean romance often includes limited or no on-page physical intimacy like kissing or arousal. It generally avoids strong language, alcohol, and violence. These stories focus heavily on the emotional connection, character development, and the development of a relationship, resulting in a wholesome and optimistic story that typically culminates in a happy ending. 

• No explicit sex scenes: This is the primary defining feature, with the focus on emotional connection rather than physical intimacy. 
• Limited physical intimacy: While some clean romances may feature kissing or embrace, the level of physical interaction is usually chaste and not overly descriptive. 
• Absence of explicit language: Clean romance typically avoids crude or vulgar terms, as well as pervasive profanity. 
• Limited alcohol and violence: The stories generally do not feature significant amounts of alcohol or depictions of violence, though some light conflict may be present. 
• Emphasis on emotional depth: The depth of the characters’ emotional connection and the development of their relationship is a crucial aspect of these narratives. 
• Optimistic and wholesome tone: Clean romances aim to provide a pleasant reading experience, often with a focus on positive values like hope, community, and traditional ideas. 

Why You’ll Want to Read A Matter of Trust

There are plenty of romances out there, but Moore offers something different. Her writing isn’t about grand gestures or over-the-top drama. Instead, she gives us small-town moments, heartfelt conversations, and characters who wrestle with trust, forgiveness, and faith.
