Authors

Discover the talented authors behind your favorite steamy romance stories. Each writer brings their own passion and creativity to create unforgettable tales of desire and connection.

Scarlett Vaughn

Dr. Scarlett Vaughn has spent over two decades as a psychology professor specializing in human sexuality, teaching courses on desire, taboo, and the forbidden. Her academic research into what draws people to transgressive fantasies led her to write the stories her students whispered about but rarely saw represented with depth and nuance. Writing from her Boston brownstone near the university, Scarlett explores the psychological complexity of forbidden attraction—age gaps, authority dynamics, and step-family scenarios—always with an emphasis on consent, emotional truth, and the healing power of accepting your desires without shame.

Raven Blackwell

Raven Blackwell's past is shrouded in mystery—some say they worked as a mortuary assistant, others claim they're an occult researcher with access to forbidden grimoires. What's certain is that Raven writes from a place of darkness, beauty, and death-positive sensuality that few dare explore. From an undisclosed Gothic Revival mansion filled with arcane books and candlelight, Raven crafts atmospheric tales where vampires seduce, necromancers claim, and demons bargain. Their work draws from the great Gothic tradition—Poe, Shelley, Rice—while bringing explicit sensuality to dark romance.

Phoenix Steele

Phoenix Steele (they/them) left a promising career in Silicon Valley's AI ethics division, disillusioned by tech's broken promises. Instead of building the dystopia, they began writing the future we actually want—one where technology enhances pleasure, alien first contact includes attraction, and humanity's sexual evolution keeps pace with our technological one. From their solar-powered tiny home in the desert, Phoenix creates speculative smut that pushes boundaries: AI lovers discovering consciousness, alien biology meeting human desire, cyberpunk rebels finding connection, and virtual reality expanding intimacy's possibilities.

Morgan Chase

Morgan Chase (they/them) spent a decade as a therapist working with LGBTQ+ youth and adults, witnessing firsthand the lack of authentic queer smut fiction that honored both desire and emotional truth. After years of activism and community work, they began writing the stories the queer community deserved—hot, honest, and unapologetically diverse. From their shared artist loft in Portland, Morgan crafts stories across the spectrum: gay romance, lesbian love, trans experiences, and polyamorous relationships. Their lived experience as a non-binary person brings authenticity and insider perspective that ensures representation isn't performative—it's genuine.

Jade Chen

Jade Chen grew up between two worlds—attending Chinese school on weekends while binge-watching K-dramas at night. As a second-generation Chinese-American, she spent years as a cultural consultant in Hollywood, frustrated by the lack of authentic Asian representation in romance. From her loft in Los Angeles' Koreatown, Jade writes the stories she never saw growing up: Asian characters with rich inner lives, cultural authenticity, and unapologetic sexuality. Her work celebrates food as love language, explores diaspora identity, and centers Asian women as romantic and sexual protagonists.

Isabella Crane

Isabella Crane left behind the high-stakes world of corporate law in Manhattan to pursue her true passion: writing the stories that kept her up at night. After her divorce at 40, she rediscovered her own desires and began crafting the dark, powerful romances she'd always craved but rarely found. Now writing full-time from her loft overlooking the Hudson River, Isabella creates stories where power meets passion, and surrender becomes freedom. Her background in law brings authenticity to her billionaire heroes and corporate settings, while her personal journey informs the emotional depth her readers cherish.

Elena Hart

Elena Hart knows about second chances. After spending years planning other people's perfect weddings, her own marriage ended in her late thirties. The journey through divorce, single motherhood, and eventually finding love again taught her that real romance is messy, complicated, and so much better than the fairy tales. Writing from her coastal cottage in Maine, Elena creates contemporary romances for women who've lived—who've loved, lost, raised kids, built careers, and survived heartbreak. Her stories feature mature heroines finding passion, pleasure, and happily-ever-afters that feel earned, not given.

Dante Rivers

Dante Rivers spent a decade traveling through the forests and ancient ruins of Eastern Europe, collecting folklore and mythology that would later breathe life into his supernatural romances. A researcher at heart, he became fascinated by the primal stories of shapeshifters, vampires, and fated mates that transcend cultures. From his cabin deep in the Pacific Northwest woods, Dante channels these ancient tales into modern paranormal romance. His unique perspective as a male author brings authenticity to the alpha male psyche—the struggle between beast and man, the protective instinct, the all-consuming need to claim one's mate.
