About the author

27 books47 followersJust a mom/nerd out in this crazy world writing smut.
My first romance book was a historical romance that I read in middle school. I didn't start reading smutty romance until I was in my 20's when a friend gave me my first dark romance.
I love writing beautifully flawed but strong female leads, diverse romantic situations, realistic body types, ethnically diverse, and queer characters.
"Magick and Malice" is my currently mostly sapphic romantasy series inspired by fairytales. All in KU. Happy reading!

A nod to As You Wish
A loosely based tale on Sleeping Beauty but the father puts the sleeping curse on the Princess. We have A heroine Valkrie, Griffin, elves, fae and sirens calling to the Blue. Great title. How often does fantasy mimic real life? Here Love is the conqueror
