She flew there perfect. She crawled home in pieces. Twenty year old Codey Harrison is running out of options. With a portfolio gathering dust, a café job in Manchester that barely covers the rent. Rejection after rejection from mainstream agencies, she is desperate for her big break. Then, an ad lights up her MODELS WANTED. Dubai. All expenses paid. It sounds too good to be true. A first-class flight. A suite overlooking the Gulf, and a fee large enough to wipe out all her debts. For the first time in her life, someone has chosen her. In the dazzling heat of Dubai, everything feels like a dream. That’s the problem. Behind the gilded facades and five-star luxury, the glamour fades. As a harrowing realisation hits Codey, she isn’t there to model. She’s there to be owned. Every part of her has a price. Some stories should never be told. This one has to be.
Roxy Rich writes psychological thrillers that will mess with your head, in the best possible way. Loosely based on true events (because real life is often more twisted than fiction), her stories take a deep dive into social injustices, especially those faced by women. Expect grit, heart, and the kind of realism that makes you wonder just how close to the truth she’s really getting.
While most of her work explores the raw and often brutal realities of human behaviour, Roxy occasionally veers off into darkly sarcastic tales about serial killers. You know, for balance.
She lives in the wilds of Somerset where she home educates her kids, writes brutally honest fiction, and dreams of salt water and gills, because she’s pretty sure she was a mermaid in a past life. When she’s not writing, you’ll find her swimming, chasing sea breezes, or side-eyeing society's hypocrisy like it just spilled red wine on her white carpet.
If you like your thrillers bold, smart, and laced with a wicked edge of truth, Roxy Rich is your next favourite author. Dive in, just don’t expect to come up for air anytime soon.
