Atlas Rose
Atlas also writes dark forbidden contemporary romance under A.K.Rose. Steamy stepbrother romance is her thing, but you can be guaranteed there is so much more she wants to write. As long as it’s steamy, angsty with lots of passion.
Atlas spends her days in a beachy city in sunny Queensland, Australia where she schemes and plots and tries to rein in the darkness…just a little at least.

Lucy Scott Bryan
Growing up, Lucy was completely enamoured with vampires, shifters and the concept of fated mates. These days you just need to add a soft nest, a delicious smelling, moody alpha or three, and she's in omegaverse heaven. Why choose, spicy romance is her preferred genre to write, and read. Lucy's female leads are always strong, perhaps not in the typical definition. But they are sassy, feisty bombshells who eventually get the happy ever after they deserve. After a bit of drama and angst, of course.

Zara Black
Zara began writing in her thirties after reading a series of “fade to black” fantasy books and wondering why the hell the author didn’t make them smuttier.
Challenge, accepted.
She loves creating magical fantasy worlds, turbulent relationships and dark, kinky heroes (who could be villains if you squint a bit.)
When she’s not thinking up ways to torment her characters, Zara lives on the beautiful Gold Coast, Australia with two kiddos and a husband who make her real life far more magical than her stories.

Stephanie Gluck
