Gladys Cross
Gladys Cross writes steamy and morally gray contemporary romances.
Her heroes are damaged, heartbroken, sometimes not all the way sane, and heart-stoppingly drool worthy.
She’s not afraid to tackle the mafia, bikers, your common criminal, vampires, werewolves, or even the devil himself.
When she isn’t dipping her toe into the darker side of love, she converts into mom mode. She’s not above instigating water gun fights, but her favorite pastime is beating her daughter and husband in a game of cards.

From working in NYC theater doing wardrobe and dressing a variety of celebrities to working in a medical laboratory in Portland Oregon it's all been part of my journey.
Originally from Missouri, my Midwestern roots have also been an influence but for the past decade-plus five, the Pacific NW has been my home and I love it.
I began my publication journey with fantasy romance in The Ring of Souls and also have found a passion for paranormal romance in Unchained and my Sterling Chains series which combines my love of contemporary romance with my infatuation with all things magical. -

D.M. Simmons
Hi, I’m D.M. Simmons—author, romance lover, and believer that every heart deserves its own love story. Whether it’s a slow burn that builds until you’re ready to combust, or a fast-paced, edge-of-your-seat romance with all the twists, I write emotionally charged stories with heart, heat, and a healthy dose of banter. I love building rich, layered worlds filled with chemistry-soaked characters who make you laugh, cry, and swoon—sometimes all in one chapter!
Buy books on Amazon
My stories explore all shades of love—from forbidden sparks and second chances to unspoken feelings and the kind of longing that spans centuries. I love small towns, sports, and fantastical worlds, with books published in each, and more on the way!

I live in a small town with my husband, three kiddos, and two fur babies. I work full time, so my world is a constant state of organized chaos!
So far, I write small town romance novels and I absolutely love them. Creating a fictional world full of people who genuinely care for each other hits me in me right in my feels.
I love a good side character, so be prepared to not only fall in love with the main characters, but enjoy meeting everyone who makes them who they are!
I hope you love my first book and stick around on this wild journey with me!
