J.A. Roles is a USA Today Best Selling dark romance author who lives for twisted love stories, broken characters, and emotional chaos—with a hard promise of a Happy Ever After at the end. She writes stories that dive headfirst into trauma, mental health, obsession, and survival, centering on characters who have been scarred by the world and forced to endure the unthinkable. Whether trapped in cruel institutions, bound by forbidden desire, or haunted by their own pasts, J.A. Roles’ characters are pushed to their breaking point—then asked to rise anyway. These are not gentle love stories. They are raw, emotionally heavy journeys where pain is acknowledged, darkness is confronted, and healing is hard-won. Love doesn’t erase the trauma—it grows from it, messy and fierce, often in the arms of morally gray men who would burn everything down to protect what’s theirs. Known for pushing boundaries while keeping the emotional core front and center, J.A. Roles blends dark aesthetics, psychological tension, spice, and deep character bonds. No matter how dark the journey gets, readers can trust one thing: heartbreak and trauma are guaranteed—but so is a Happy Ever After

B.L. Wilde (Bee) writes many genres, including Contemporary, Rom Com and Fantasy. All have one thing in common… love!

Romance is always her go to, whether she is writing or reading.

D. E. Bartley is a master of dark romance who loves to push boundaries and give readers everything they want. Why choose just one alpha love interest when you can have them all? She spends her days creating broody heroes, fierce heroines, and intense love stories that keep readers up way past their bedtime. Whether she is diving into the dangerous world of organised crime with her thrilling mafia books or exploring wild new pack dynamics in her captivating shifter series, she knows how to deliver high-stakes passion.

She is best known as the mastermind behind the O'Reilly Fight Club series. This thrilling world is packed with gritty action, dangerous secrets, and undeniable chemistry.

When she finally steps away from the keyboard, you can find her talking to her pets, daydreaming about book boyfriends, or buying books she does not have room for.

Born and raised in Switzerland, Sohaila Elshater loves to write about the human experience, in all its beauty and hardship.

The Dark Knight of the Souls is Sohaila's debut fantasy romance and offers a narrative that challenges imperialism, converging the voices and journeys of resilient BIPOC characters in their struggle for justice and liberation.

Andrew Dobell writes epic, gritty, classic urban fantasy that asks what happens when Mages, Vampires and Werewolves and everything in between, have to share the world with the rest of us.

Andrew has been building this world for the best part of three decades, with the main character starting as a collection of drawings long before he ever wrote a word of fiction. Having worked as a professional artist for years, including a book cover artist, Andrew creates his own covers because only he knows what's in his head. He lives in Surrey with his family, where he can usually be found losing golf balls at his local club or plotting which character to kill off next. Step into the Magi Saga — just don't trust everyone you meet.

I’m EJ and I’m on a mission to set your imagination (and other things) on fire.

Let’s face it, reality is … not great right now. In my stories, love conquers all, my heroes always save the day, and consent is super-sexy. My characters aren’t just names on the page. They’re the friends you wish you had, the lovers you dream about, and the villains you love to hate.

The next, I’m whisking you away to otherworldly realms where magic is real and every girl gets her dragon. No matter where the story takes us, a happy ending, and a healthy dose of steam, are always guaranteed.

H.L. Packer is, quite frankly, a busy bee. An avid reader as a child, her love of books took a back seat as adulthood, work, and family life took over. It wasn't until she finished work for maternity leave and her husband gifted her an e-reader that her obsession with reading was rekindled. What started as reading quickly became reviewing, then blogging, street teams, and promotional tours. Later came Romance Readers Book Box UK, where her passion for stories evolved into creating special editions and bookish treasures for fellow readers. Somewhere along the way, the characters in her head became impossible to ignore. Those cheeky voices soon found their way onto the page, and before long, her first series was underway. When she's not plotting dangerous romances and morally grey heroes, Heather can usually be found chasing after her three free-spirited children, her husband, and the assortment of dogs, bearded dragons, and snakes that also call her home. On the rare occasion she gets a moment to herself, you'll find her soaking in a bubble bath with a glass of wine and, more often than not, a book still in her hand.

​L.M. Mountford’s goal in life is to be unique, a character who stands out from the crowd that you just can’t help remembering with a bemused chuckle.

A born and bred country boy from the southwest of England, he knew from an early age that he wanted to write and spent most of his time writing story ideas or playing Star Wars on his PlayStation.
