Three worlds.
Endless chaos.
One unhinged author.

I don’t write normal romance.
I write what ifs — what if magic was real, what if power had teeth, what if love could break you and still set you free?

Every series I create exists in its own wild universe: equal parts fantasy, emotion, and questionable decisions. Step through any doorway… but don’t expect to come back the same.

TETHERED BY TEMPTATION

Even if her mind lies, their touch feels real.

A dark, reverse harem dystopia where reality is optional, desire is dangerous, and power comes with a cost.

What to expect:
✨ Slow-burn RH
✨ MM dynamics
✨ Found family + betrayal
✨ Psychological mind-bending magic

Starter:
Begin with Delusions & Desires — the book that questions everything you believe about sanity, power, and love.

Find it on Amazon and KU.
