edit data

Thea writes spicy romances about imperfect people haunted by inner demons and dark histories.

Whether it's a crumbling gothic mansion, the ocean at night, or a castle on a tidal island, her settings are as alive as any other character.

When she's not making her friends laugh, or her readers cry, she can be found reading, learning how to draw (very badly), or in nature.

Thea’s Quotes

“You expect me to tell the truth, but you’re lying to yourself,” Alek said. “You think you want me, but you don’t. You think I’m worth loving, but I’m not. You say you’ll never leave, but you will.”

“Alek tangled their tongues in a kiss that tasted like salt and the end of everything and it wasn’t enough. Ian could drown him in an ocean of tears and slit their palms in a blood bond, and none of it would ever be enough.”

“Ian discussed each house he had worked on like it was a person with its own secret history, like the simple act of rehabilitating an abandoned house was akin to traveling back in time.”
