About the author

I write the kind of love stories that leave bruises. Twisted, tender, and steeped in shadow, my dark romances explore the fine line between obsession and devotion, pain and pleasure, ruin and redemption.

By day (and often well into the night), I’m an author who breathes life into damaged characters and dangerous desires. But my world doesn’t end on the page, I also stream bedtime stories and chaotic chats with my reader community on Twitch.

Through Patreon, I offer early access to chapters, steamy bonus scenes, voice notes that slip under your skin, and short audio dramas. And yes, when the story demands to be heard, I narrate my own work, giving breath to every broken vow, whispered promise, and dark confession.

This space is for readers who crave intensity. For those who love their stories a little messy, a little haunted, and a lot unforgettable.

Welcome to the dark side. I’ve been expecting you.

It Ends in Blood is a debut on debut action... for it is my first dance with the romance genre and author Valentina Vallay's first book.

I guess you could say she was my first.

From the moment you pick up the novel or tune into the delicious audio, you will be sucked in.

A steady fountain of sex, action, betrayal, and vengeance is sure to quench even the thirstiest of readers. I couldn't put it down, and I cannot wait for the next novel in the series.

I chose the medium of audio, and my ears thanked me for it. The silky smooth sounds of sensuality gently pounded my eardrums, and the action had my pulse quickening.

5 stars, and man, what an intro! I know it can only get better the second time. LGBTQ friendly."
