For a long time, I thought finding my voice as an author would feel like a sudden moment of clarity. A lightning bolt. A decision that landed clean and certain.

Instead, it felt more like wandering.

Over the last couple of years, I’ve written across different shades of romance—lighter stories, softer edges, and worlds that stayed safely above the surface. And I’m deeply grateful for that season. Every story taught me something. Every book brought me closer to understanding what I was really trying to say.

But somewhere along the way, I noticed a pattern.

When I wrote darker stories—stories rooted in obsession, power, danger, and psychological tension—something shifted in me. The writing moved faster. Deeper. It felt less like effort and more like inevitability.

That’s when I understood something important:

Dark romance is where my writing comes alive.

What Dark Romance Gives Me (and You)

Dark romance isn’t about shock for the sake of shock. It’s not darkness without meaning.

For me, it’s about exploring the parts of love we don’t always say out loud:

• the pull that feels dangerous

• the devotion that borders on obsession

• the fear that sharpens desire

• the power dynamics that strip people bare

These stories ask uncomfortable questions.

What would you do for the person you love?
How far would you go before it costs you everything?
What happens when desire and danger look the same?

And somehow—within all that shadow—dark romance still insists on a happily ever after. Not a perfect one. Not an easy one. But a claimed one.

How Dante Changed Everything

Dante wasn’t supposed to be a full book.

He began as something small. A side idea. A reader magnet.
But from the first pages, he refused to stay contained.

He demanded space. Depth. Consequences.

Writing Dante felt like being pulled into a story that already existed, one that didn’t need my permission—only my surrender. He embodies everything I love about dark romance: control, intensity, devotion that doesn’t ask but takes, and a love that is terrifying in its certainty.

He reminded me why I write in the first place.

Not to stay safe.
Not to dilute the edges.
But to tell the truth as I see it—through shadow and desire and risk.

Choosing a Lane (and Letting Go)

Choosing to focus on dark romance doesn’t mean I regret what I’ve written before. It means I’ve listened.

As creators, we evolve. And sometimes evolution means letting go of paths that no longer fit so we can walk fully into the one that does.

From here on, my stories will live in the darker corners of romance. Mafia and cartel worlds. Power imbalances. Psychological tension. Love that consumes, protects, and destroys in equal measure.

If that’s your kind of story, you’re exactly where you’re meant to be.

And if it isn’t, that’s okay too. Stories should feel like an invitation—not an obligation.

What Comes Next

Dante arrives this March, and he’s only the beginning.

More intensity.
More obsession.
More stories that don’t look away from the dark—but find something beautiful there anyway.

Thank you for being here.
