Anna Harding writes dark romance that cuts deep—psychological stories rooted in pain, power, and obsession. Her work explores the cost of survival, the pull of forbidden desire, and the emotional complexity of characters who live in a morally grey world. With a literary sensibility and an unflinching gaze, Anna crafts narratives that are as emotionally layered as they are addictive.

Her heroines are flawed, her anti-heroes dangerous, and her stories unapologetically intense.

Anna lives in the UK, teaches English Literature, doesn’t believe in housework, doesn’t believe in dieting and sometimes annoys the neighbours by yodelling. She likes walking her dog and also creates poetry under a different name.
Anna believes all her characters deserve a

Bonus Content - Aurelio's Induction

Hiya all,

I can’t remember which book it’s in but I mention in passing the fact that Aurelio and Leandro got drunk when they first became made men. And I loved the idea of visiting these powerful antiheroes before they became the men they are in the series.

Thanks for reading! Subscribe for free to receive new posts and support my work.

So this bonus content tells the tale of Aurelio and Leandro, age

Tortured Innocence by Anna  Harding
“I’d learned staying alive meant behaving in an expected way. Even when the beatings had stopped hurting, I’d never stopped screaming. They hadn’t just wanted to inflict pain on me, they’d wanted to see me reacting to the pain.
My life would have ended when I stopped responding. So I’d continued to scream and wail and cry as long as I’d been physically able to
I was less sure of what Lev Nemov wanted from me. I’d looked as closely into his eyes as I dared and searched for the cruelty I’d seen in theirs. But he was telling the truth about not wanting to hurt me. I was sure of that. I knew what evil looked like.”

“I didn’t feel human any more. I didn’t even feel like an animal. I had been forgotten by life outside this room and I didn’t exist as anything but a toy for these men. They took me out to torment me and tidied me away after their games.
I didn’t know if I was broken.
I didn’t know if I wanted to live or die.”

The writing of this is superb. Reads more like a high work of literature than a bodice ripper. I adored Domenico although he is unlikeable throughout. Some readers would be put off by his coldness to the heroine throughout the novel. It's not quite a ...more

“He wanted me, ME to marry the cherished sister of the unhinged boss of the Bratva. I didn’t want my boss knowing what I did in bed and I sure as fuck didn’t want Simon Nemov knowing what I did to his sister in bed.”
Anna Harding, Dark Atonement

“She wasn’t a woman—she was a Goddess. And I’d bring down Heaven and Earth to make her mine.”
Anna Harding, Forbidden Love

“No way would I ever marry a girl of his choice. Some naïve little Russian virgin who’d run crying to her (and worse my) father if I did anything in bed to her outside the missionary position. I couldn’t think of anything I’d enjoy less.”
Anna Harding, Dark Atonement

Anna Harding, Dark Atonement

“Eloise I kill for a living. I kill for fun. I torture my enemies. I gut them. Then I come home to you and, fuck, I want to protect you. But the man you need protecting from most is your own husband.”
Anna Harding, Dark Atonement

“She was giving a brilliant performance of terror. The realism was far more erotic than the usual giggling in a dark room with a whore in slutty lingerie. I appreciated her attention to detail and I appreciated her acting ability. This was going to be one hell of a fuck.”
Anna Harding

“Maybe if I’d been older, with more experience, or a better understanding of how relationships actually worked, things might have played out differently. But I was a simple man. I knew right from wrong, and I expected my future wife to know it too.”
Anna Harding, Unlimited Power
