Why I Named the Series The Dangerous Comfort Series

I didn’t name this series lightly.

For a long time, I struggled to explain what my stories were really about. They’re romances, yes. They’re emotional, intense, and deeply character-driven. But underneath the chemistry, the longing, the connection—there was always something else humming beneath the surface. Something quieter. Something more unsettling.
