Arisa Villar

Arisa Villar is an author of dark romance and dark fantasy. Since she discovered the dark side of literature in her university years, she hasn’t stopped exploring it. From sweet romances to erotic horror, she reads it all.

And because her particular fixation has decided to land on the more…questionable stories, she writes accordingly. Or in other words, the more unhinged and spicier the story, the happier the author.

Currently, she lives in the corner of Europe, in a small country called Lithuania. Although the winters can get a little bit cold there, she always has a spicy book in every room to warm up.

Drea Scott

Drea has been a hopeless romantic for as long as she can remember. She became an avid romance reader in 2015 when the Fifty Shades of Grey craze broke out, and never looked back since.

Stories written by Jennifer Hartmann and Mia Sheridan are her absolute favorite, inspiring her to give writing a shot in 2022 when she settled down in her career. No, writing is not her full-time job, but a side project for now.

With the relentless support of her husband, Drea found a passion that's been buried for quite some time. Her only wish is to touch people the way romance books have impacted her. Full-circle moments, symbols, love that crawls through the trenches....give her all the high stakes.

But as emotional are her stories may be, Drea will never

Laura Thalassa

Found in the forest when she was young, Laura Thalassa was raised by fairies, kidnapped by werewolves, and given over to vampires as repayment for a hundred year debt. She’s been brought back to life twice, and, with a single kiss, she woke her true love from eternal sleep. She now lives happily ever after with her undead prince in a castle in the woods.

… or something like that anyway.

Rhiannon Hargadon

There was a willow I loved by a creek; sometimes I slept there. I was never afraid, alone in the dark. There was nothing to fear from water and trees and fairytales.

The real monsters were always people.

...

Can we forgive injustice?
Do we accept the fate forced upon us?
Should we fight, no matter the cost?
How do we move on from great loss?
What would you trade to relive one moment?

I write folklore and mythology inspired dark fantasy. Emphasis on dark. I don't shy away from serious issues and emotions: suicide, depression, mental illness, abuse, death, infertility, and assault are all in my books. These are not for pleasure or shock value, but because I want to write about authentic pain and suffering, and how we heal ourselves through the bad th

Anya Elizabeth

I write heartfelt, romantic fiction with all the things I love most: slow burns, found family, emotional depth, and a little bit of spice. My romance motto is: flirt first, kiss later.

My debut novel, The Imperfect Plan, released in 2023. My upcoming novel, Six Summers Apart, is the first in The Summer Hearts Series—a swoony, sun-drenched romance about old friends, missed chances, and unforgettable summers.

When I’m not writing, you’ll probably find me daydreaming about beach picnics, rereading my favourite love stories, or working on a third-act twist in a café somewhere.
