About the author

I love to write erotic LGBTQ+ romance that explores kink and queer experience. My characters are complex people discovering themselves and each other, and sexuality is an important part of their journey.

I write romance in multiple genres, including gothic, historical, contemporary, paranormal, horror, fantasy, and anything else that strikes my fancy. When I'm not busy writing steamy stories, I'm usually kicking back with a cocktail and hanging out with my cat, Scully.

I usually hate novellas

However, this one is well written, exciting, and immediate. I want more of course, much more and will read the sequel next. Hopefully, the author has more p!anned.....

Well-written, with sympathetic, well-developed characters. Also, super hot. Appreciated the more gentle interpretation of vampirism. I look forward to more from this author.

Yummy!

I don’t know, but there is just something so erotic about Helena. The way she moves. The way she talks. The way she touches. It’s quite hypnotic. I like how she has moved into the 21st century while yet not losing herself or becoming irrelevant or some old lost replica of the past. I wasn’t sure how this would play out or what would become of her and Tess. But I know it was a delicious read all the same. Can’t wait to read the sequel.
