Mads Rafferty
Never in a million years would I have thought my life would look like what it does today. If I told my younger self that I not only love to read but that I write books for a living … well let’s just say we would be attending her funeral. Books will forever hold a special place in my heart. At the age of nineteen, I immersed myself in the world of fiction and was lucky enough to be dragged out of a dark abyss. Books have been there for me through thick and thin, helping shape the person I am today and I hope for some, my books will do the same. In whatever capacity that may be.

Athena Hawthorne
Athena Hawthorne is a contemporary romance author whose stories blend lyrical prose with emotional intensity. In her world, love is consuming, characters ache beautifully, and devotion runs deep.

She writes about obsessive heroes who fall hard—and often first—for the women who undo them. Her heroines are complex, self-possessed, and quietly strong—the kind of women who bring powerful men to their knees—and keep them there.
Athena aims to craft love stories that linger long after the last page, where sensuality meets emotional resonance and every happily ever after is hard-won.
Athena writes under a pen name and keeps her identity tucked quietly away—after all, isn’t every love story better with a little mystery? -
