I'm an indie author of steamy Billionaire Romances, and I love strong alpha men with loaded bank accounts and skeletons in their closets.

My heroes are as sexy and beautiful as they are broken - only to be fixed by the smart & captivating heroines who cross their paths.

Lately, I've been writing more Dark Billionaire Romances. I'm very excited about my current VIOLENT series and its current spin-off The Velvet Rooms Series!

I live in Europe with my very own hero.
And I love squirrels. ❤

That is a great question! (And I'm sorry for only seeing it now)
I don't think women are simply 'turned on by rape' but by a fantasy version of a scenario that - from the outside - could be seen as rape. I'll admit that I did struggle with the concept at first (even though I enjoy writing these kinds of stories), but try to see it as it is: a fantasy. My books are pure escapism and have nothing to do with reality, and that's what many of us seek when we dive into a book: a break from reality. I doubt that any of my readers would actually want to experience the situations described in my books and it's more about the allure of taboo and about being wanted/desire by a super hot guy who could have anyone - but he wants you! And he's willing to be a bad boy to get you. ;)(less)

It's usually a more quiet phase, were things settle after a climax (often, quite literally, hehe) and then move on to the crisis (which I love to write). The endings are also a challenge, because it's so hard to say goodbye to my characters. (less)
