Nikki Kelly

Hi!
I'm Nikki, a lover and writer of all things Fantasy and Romance, where the Morally Grey Villain will always get his happy ending.

From a young age, I've always loved writing stories, from children's books about a girl and her flowers and planting hot dog trees, to dark fantasy novels where the villainous anti-heroes burn the world to save the girl and then everything in between.

When I'm not reading and writing, I'm cuddled up on my couch in my dark home watching the birds and kangaroos with my kids and husband.

I hope you enjoy my work!

Cora Kent

Cora Kent fell for her first villain before she even knew what romance was. Ever since Scar was denied a happily ever after, she’s been on a mission to give all the dark, dangerous anti-heroes the endings they deserve. If the Big Bad Wolf had swept Little Red off her feet, it might have saved the fairy tale—so that's exactly what Cora does in her novels: grants her bad boys redemption through passion, power, and the women who can handle them.

When she’s not spinning tales of morally gray heroes and forbidden desires, you’ll find her snuggled up with her cat, sipping a margarita, and watching Grey’s Anatomy.

A self-confessed geek, Alexia has always found solace in the natural world and books, often walking her dogs whilst daydreaming stories of her own. However, it wasn’t until 2020 when one voice wouldn’t leave her alone that she stopped saying 'I can’t' and finally wrote her debut dystopian novel, The Minority Rule.

The Minority Rule quickly turned into a trilogy and ideas for new novels flooded in—although not in the same genre, beginning the genre-hopping journey that Alexia is now on.

Although her novels vary, whether epic fantasy, dystopian, paranormal mystery romance, dark psychological thriller, or anything in between, she
