Dark MF Contemporary RomanceBleed for Me was Kitty's debut romance, and it packs a punch.

Paige
I had it all. A great life, my childhood best friend and a fiancé on track to becoming a detective. My life couldn’t have been more perfect, or so I thought. The day I walked in on my best friend and fiancé f*cking on our bed, I immediately fled the state. Fast forward a few years and I now live in beautiful Santa Fe, New Mexico. Little did I know when I settled down that my new community is being terrorized by a mysterious serial killer with a fixation on blood. If that wasn’t bad enough, I seem to have caught the attention of a gorgeous but dangerous man of his own rite. But really, what could go wrong?

 

Mick
The citizens of Santa Fe live in fear of an elusive murderer. The Blood Shadow. Funny thing is, they should be. I don’t just murder because of a personal vendetta or any arbitrary connection. No, the only thing you need to attract the attention of the Blood Shadow is blood. My one obsession, my only need. That is, until I stumble on a beautiful raven-haired goddess. I now have two hungers I need filled, one for blood and one for her. She’ll soon find out that there’s nowhere she can hide from me. The hunt is on and she will be mine.

The Inked Souls Duet

Dark MMN-B (male/male/non-binary) Contemporary Romance
This duet is not meant to be read on its own. This duet is one of my favourite as it has a non-binary character (just like Kitty and I) and shows a hard journey, but one worthy of love. The spice picks up in book 2 and PLEASE check the CW for each book.

Lost in Life

Inked Souls Duet: Book 1

Lost in Life book cover - shown is a moody old home beneath a huge tree.

Pairing: MMN-B (male/male/non-binary)

Loss.

​

One word that can turn your entire life upside down.

​

I never truly understood what it meant to lose someone until I experienced it firsthand. But I won't let the grief define me. I'll use it to mold me, to shape me into someone who is strong enough to take back my life.

 

I am stronger than the pain and I will find myself again.

 

Or die trying.

 

*Lost in Life is book 1 in the Inked Souls Duet. This duet is a dark MMN-B (male/male/non-binary) romance. It is a why choose story, that means there will not be a choice made between the main character love interests and they will all end up together. Along with dark romance themes, violence, and sexual content, this story delves into the very real reality of grief and its effect, please check triggers before proceeding. The duet does end in an HEA but not before many, many tears are shed.
**Please note: Lost in Life ends on a mild cliffhanger.

Found in Death

Inked Souls Duet: Book 2

Pain. Agony. Heartbreak.

 

Emotions that have become all too familiar.

 

Rage. Revenge. Retribution.

 

They're all I can think about, all my life has become. But what if there's more? What if the anger can be met with love? What if I don't have to do this alone anymore?

 

What if...what if they're the answer?

 

*Found in Death is book 2 in the Inked Souls Duet. This duet is a dark MMN-B (male/male/non-binary) romance. It is a why choose story, that means there will not be a choice made between the main character love interests and they will all end up together. Along with dark romance themes, violence, and sexual content, this story delves into the very real reality of grief and its effect, please check the content warnings before proceeding. The duet does end in a HEA but not before many, many tears are shed.*

*Please note: Found in Death is book 2 in the duet and cannot act as a standalone. Book 1: Lost in Life is recommended to be read first.

The FindingLight Series

This series takes place within the same world and society, each following different main characters, and you'll find there are scenes with characters from the previous book(s). While each book can be read as a standalone with different characters, I recommend reading them in order to avoid spoilers and confusion.

My Little Girl

FindingLight: Book 1

My Little Girl Book Cover - Shown is a readhead with wavy hair, she is running her hands through her hair

Pairing: MF
Genre: Dark Romance / Dark Contemporary Romance / Hitman Romance

​

Please check the CW before reading.

A random text from an unknown number.

 

We’ve all been there, all gotten one.

 

But what happens when that text is from a hitman sending confirmation of a job completed? And what if your anxiety-riddled brain takes a backseat and you find yourself responding to said text letting him know it’s the wrong number?

 

Sounds like a recipe for disaster, but for Killian and Avamarie, is it the beginning of their love story? Can she convince him not to kill her to cover his tracks? Can he get past his desire for her to finish what he knows need to be done?

 

This is a wrong place, wrong time unconventional love story full of murder, mayhem, and morally questionable characters.

 

*Please note that in addition to sexual content and dark romance themes, there are also very sensitive topics in this story including mental health and abortion. Please check triggers before proceeding as this is an emotionally devastating journey that ends in a HEA for the characters but not before they go through some very tough situations.

All My Broken Pieces

FindingLight: Book 2

All my Broken Pieces Book Cover - Shown is a blonde woman and a yellow flower.

Pairing: FF
Genre: Dark Sapphic Romance / Dark Contemporary Romance / Hitwoman Romance 

​

Please check the CW before reading.

Sinful desires.
The need to be the perfect child.
A war between what she knows in her soul and what years of conditioning have led her to believe.

 

Can Fallon break past the pressures to live what her family believes to be a “righteous path” so she can be with the woman she loves? Or will she succumb to the wants of others, and sacrifice her own happiness in the process?

 

All My Broken Pieces is a dark sapphic romance that follows the story of two unlikely companions trying to find their love amidst a world that views it as inherently sinful. This book contains dark romance themes, including violence and sexual content, as well as a look into religion and the pain of accepting yourself, even if that means losing everything.

 

Please check the content warnings before proceeding. While the story does end in a HEA, it is a very hard road to get there.
