Where Romance meets Darkness
Devastatingly Beautiful Tragedies
Because the brightest light can only be found in utter darkness. And sometimes there is none left at all.
Soon: Running Out of Luck
Horror Romance
When petty criminal Nico hijacks the wrong car during a botched escape, he expects cops, chaos, maybe prison. Not Penny, the sweet, slightly chaotic desert girl who offers him shelter instead of screaming for help.
Stranded in her nowhereville farmhouse with a bullet wound and a record long enough to be its own book, Nico finds himself slipping into a life he’s never had: fresh-baked cookies, mismatched floral mugs, roller-blading shotgun lessons, and a girl who hums while gardening like she’s straight out of a country-song daydream.
Sweetness wrapped in desert sunshine, Penny is messy, self-reliant, and maybe a little… intense. Wth a past where more than one ghost might come back to haunt her. And Nico is falling for her, hard and stupid, dragged into a mess he didn’t sign up for.
A funny, slow-burn horror romance that unravels into a plot twist where the bad boy never stood a chance and the deadliest thing in the desert isn’t the heat between them.

Dark Romantasy
Rae is a witch in name only. A perfectly ordinary human who sells love spells on Etsy, gives advice to clients with bizarre problems, and rescues strays in her spare time. Her life may look magical online, but it’s all incense and mirrors.
Until she wanders into a dusty bookshop and meets Salem, a centuries-old demon bound by a curse. Handsome, horned, and far too charming for anyone’s sanity, he shatters everything Rae thought she knew about magic. Mainly because… well, it's very real.
Suddenly, being an online witch becomes the chaotic training arc for her strangest and definitely hottest rescue mission yet; one that’s more dangerous than anything she’s faced before. Because leaving the bookshop could cost Salem everything, most of all his life. And Rae, powerless human that she is, might be the only person who can get him out alive.
Soon: Shadows and Dreams - a Reader's Tale
Dark Romantasy
Fayelinn is fighting a losing war. Humans have invaded her homeland and wield the Orb, an artifact powerful enough to wipe out all Fae. When the enigmatic Light Prince takes notice of her, Fayelinn begins to uncover the dark secrets surrounding the Orb. But betrayal and ancient powers threaten to unravel everything she believes.
Meanwhile, back in the 21st century human world, my life is painfully ordinary: endless emails, a cubicle I can’t escape, a boyfriend glued to his phone, and my cat as the only bright spot in my day. That is, until I open a book about Fayelinn and fall right into its pages. Suddenly, I’m a fragile human in a realm of magic, monsters, and powerful Fae who hate my kind. It quickly becomes obvious that scrolling social media or brewing coffee won’t help me survive here.
When I practically fall into the arms of the Shadow King, we’re thrust into a perilous quest filled with danger and miracles. But because of my interference, the story begins to spiral off its intended path. When fate falters, and the entire world teeters on the brink of chaos, I have to choose between everything I have ever wanted and the greater good, the salvation of this world. Oh boy.
Were the shadows lure you in...
Here, haunted hearts collide, irresistible danger entwines with intoxicating desire, and intimacy pulses like a heartbeat beneath the skin. Here, nothing is as it seems.
My worlds are filled with poetic darkness, morally grey antiheroes and monsters that thrive, think, feel, and hunger. If you crave stories where beauty and horror speak the same language, where blood becomes a bond, and love is allowed to be tender, twisted, or both, you’re in the right place.
Just come a little closer…
