Authors

Lasairiona McMaster
Lasairiona writes sassy, classy, and unapologetically badassy women—and the strong-yet-vulnerable men who love them. As Lasairiona McMaster, she delivers steamy sports romances that hit just as hard off the ice as on it. As Lasairiona Lewis, she cranks up the heat with kinky, BDSM stories that explore relationships at their most raw and real.
A proudly queer author, she champions inclusivity and diversity, often bringing her own bisexuality to the page with own-voices representation.

Tracie Delaney
Tracie Delaney writes billionaire romance where the men fall hard and the women make them work for it. Even though she has more than 35 novels published across many different series, Tracie still considers herself a reader first and foremost and loves fangirling over her favourite authors.
At night she likes to curl up on the sofa with her two furbabies, Murphy & Cooper, and binge-watch shows on Netflix. There may be wine involved.

Shauna Adams
Shauna Adams is an Irish romance author who lives in Belfast with her husband, two children and three adorable cats.

Clare Sager
Clare Sager is the Sunday Times bestselling author of darkly addictive romantasy full of slow-burn steam, gut-wrenching conflict and morally grey everybody. Dubbed the Queen of Edging by readers, she takes no responsibility for lost sleep or therapy bills.
When she’s not breaking hearts with her books, Clare can usually be found drinking coffee, lifting weights or impulse-buying stationery. She lives in Nottingham, Robin Hood country, so it’s no surprise she writes about characters who don’t always play by the rules.

Seána Tinley

She writes saga historical romance with a strong emphasis on women’s social history—like Call the Midwife but in 1930s/40s Ireland. She also writes regency romance as Catherine Tinley. She has published eighteen novels so far.
After a career encompassing speech & language therapy, Sure Start, being President of a charity, and managing a maternity service, she now works as NI Country Director for a leading UK charity. She is also Chair of the Romantic Novelists’ Association.

Amy Oliveira
Brazilian and Irish, Amy Oliveira is a contemporary romance author dedicated to writing about the two things you shouldn’t skip on: therapy and smut.
Amy’s leads are strong, flawed and very open about their mental health struggles. And her heros are understanding, lovable and often pierced.
The combination results in a delicious slow burn with a lot of heart and a lot of heat.

Autumn Archer
USA Today bestselling author Autumn Archer writes dark and gritty romance with guaranteed happily ever afters.
A lifelong daydreamer, late diagnosed autistic ADHDer, romance reader and music obsessive, she dedicates her waking hours to romancing the darkness, using fictional words to weave raw emotion into morally gray men and the feisty women who capture their hearts.
Whether it’s a mafia boss, a cartel criminal or complex anti-hero, she delivers page-turning stories that will leave you hungry for more.

Victoria Denault
Victoria Denault loves ocean air, seventies music, strong heroines and flawed heroes.
Victoria, her husband and her dog Maximus split their time between Canada and France where they live in a 225 year old home with character and more spiders than she cares to think about. When not writing books she can usually be found on a beach somewhere. She’s a proud Canadian who speaks fluent English, French and hockey.

Amara Lebel
Amara fell in love with romance long before she ever wrote a word of it—curled up with stories of passion, adventure, and heart that swept her away page after page. A nudge from one of her favorite authors finally turned that love into action, and she hasn’t stopped writing since.
Now she crafts tales of forbidden love and enchanted romance for readers who crave connection, escapism, and a touch of magic. A proud Irish lass born and raised in Derry—where she lives with her gorgeous family, fueled by tea, daydreams, and an unshakeable belief in happily-ever-afters.

Elamy Pride
Elamy Pride is the pen name of two MM romance writers separated by nearly 2,000 miles and united by a love of spice. Ela brings the sweetness; Amy brings the sass, and together they write books full of swoon, heat, and happily-ever-afters. Good vibes guaranteed. Spicy times not optional.
