Luxury Romance Defined: Power. Scandal. Dynasty. (The Only Genre That Requires PTO Days)

🎵Pour something luxurious and let Sia and Kendrick Lamar's "The Greatest" set the mood. This song changed everything for me. And I'm writing a genre that just might redefine how you see romance.

Let's address the elephant in the room.

Traditional publishing drips content to test the market. They release Book One, watch the numbers, gauge reader response, maybe greenlight Book Two if things go well. It's risk mitigation. Smart business. I get it.

Here's what I know about you: you don't want to dip your toe in to test the temperature. You want to plunge in, submerged from the first page. You want the whole story, the emotional arc, the immersion... and you want it now.

This is romance built for the binge. For clearing your weekend, silencing your phone, and disappearing into a world where power, passion, and betrayal don't fit inside a single ending. I'm not going to make you wait months or years between installments to find out what happens next.

Luxury Romance series drops are same day. No drip sequence. Trilogy drop? Three books on release day. Duet? Same day. 4-book series? Same day.

This is the only genre that requires PTO days.

So let me tell you what Luxury Romance actually is... and why it might be exactly what you've been searching for.

What I Mean When I Say Luxury Romance

Luxury Romance is emotionally immersive, high-stakes love stories set in worlds of wealth, danger, and devotion. It's where billionaires, operatives, and criminal empires collide, and love becomes the only safe harbor in the storm.

These are cinematic, open-door romances that trade on intensity, intelligence, and desire. Explicit. Not safe for work. One-hand-reader-friendly. You're welcome. (sips wine 😉)

Here's what makes this different from everything else you've been reading: I'm not going to insult your intelligence. There are no miscommunication tropes where a five-minute conversation would solve everything. No third-act breakups over manufactured drama. No damsels waiting to be rescued.

I'm writing smart women making strategic decisions and loving with intention. Men who are flawed and unafraid to yearn for the woman they want. These are adults navigating love in a world on fire, and their relationships reflect that complexity.

Where the Luxury Lives

The luxury isn't just in the settings, though I'm absolutely taking you to places that make you want to book a flight immediately.

You'll find yourself in private villas along the Amalfi Coast. The exclusive shores of Mustique. The vibrant pulse of Brazil. Penthouses, yachts, and bulletproof SUVs.

These aren't just backdrops; they're part of the story, spaces where power players make moves and millionaires are considered middle class.

The luxury is also in the experience I'm creating for you.

High stakes. Romance doesn't unfold in a vacuum here. It's woven through wealth, crime, power, and politics. Mafia syndicates, corruption, and cartels. Secret societies and counterfeit empires. The external forces are as dangerous as the internal desire, and watching characters navigate both? That's the tension that keeps you reading until 3 AM.

Sensory detail. I write the way I experience the world: textures, tastes, sounds. The cool weight of silk against warm skin. The burn of aged whiskey. Bergamot and leather. Sea salt and jasmine. This is romance that engages all your senses, not just your heart.

Exclusivity. You're not just consuming a story; you're being admitted into an elite world. You're an insider now, privy to secrets and scandals most people will never know. That feeling of being let in? That's part of the luxury.

What This Isn't (Let's Get Clear)

Let's be real, nobody's asking a damn thing about Luxury Romance. Let me clarify. Luxury Romance is neither Billionaire Romance nor is it Dark Romance. (I love to read both).

This isn't Billionaire Romance. Yes, there's wealth involved. In Billionaire Romance, the wealth itself is often the primary draw or conflict. I'm using wealth as the setting, not the story. The money is context. The story is about power, partnership, and the choices people make when everything is on the line.

Luxury Romance shares the glamour of Billionaire Romance but operates on different principles. If you love Billionaire Romance, you'll love Luxury Romance too.

This isn't Dark Romance. My books contain dark themes and dark elements, absolutely. There are trigger warnings and glimmer warnings available because these stories go to real, raw places. The main characters are not morally gray. They make impossible choices in impossible circumstances. There's danger, betrayal, even violence. There's also devotion, partnership, and resolution. Dark themes don't equal Dark Romance, and I'll talk more about that distinction in another post.

This isn't formulaic. Here's why: I can't write formulaic even if I tried. As a neurodivergent author, my brain doesn't work in straight lines or predictable patterns. I see connections others miss. I feel emotions at depths that sometimes wreck me for days. I wrote a scene that wrecked me so hard, I had to step away from writing for three days. It broke me and it will gut you. (Tell me when you read it.)

Another intimate scene I couldn't write until I saw it in my mind like a movie, frame by frame, breath by breath.

Some of the traits you'll read, the things characters say, the experiences they navigate... they're drawn from my life. If you feel like it's about you, you know exactly who you are.

These are fully realized adults navigating love in a world on fire, and their relationships reflect that complexity because that's the only way I know how to write them.

If This Sounds Like You

I'm writing Luxury Romance for you and me.

You want stories written for someone who gets it. Someone who wants the emotional payoff of romance, danger, and Scoville-pepper-defying spice. The kind of romance where choosing each other matters. The kind of danger that comes from mafia, cartels, and black ops. The kind of spice that requires... well, you'll see.

You're the reader who screenshots passages, recommends books like accessories, and buys hardcover special editions as coffee table statements.

You might be wildly focused and beautifully distracted. If you're neurodivergent, you already know what I mean. You hyperfocus on stories that grab you and need multiple threads to follow, Easter eggs to discover, plot glitter sprinkled throughout that catches the light when you least expect it. The full-series model? That's designed for how your brain actually works. No waiting between books when you're finally, gloriously lost in a world.

If that's you? Welcome. You're exactly who I'm writing for.

"O. M. G. Yooooooo when I say I was on edge...I'm still taken aback...and who the hell is...ohhh but wait...gurllllll...I'm all in! OOOOMMMMGGGG!!!! gagging" — Beta Reader (Caviar & Crimes: Surrender) [edited to remove spoilers]

"Not gonna lie, I hated reading for fun. But this...this is awesome! Far more than what I expected. Glad my sister talked me into it. Hope there's more coming." — Beta Reader (Caviar & Crimes: Seduction)

The World I'm Building

The Luxury Romance universe I'm creating begins with the Norman sisters: Allegra, Cassie, and Stella.

Three sisters. Three stories. One saga. Their stories unfold in sequence, interconnected and alive.

Allegra: Seduction, Surrender, & Serenity
Cassie: Pursuit, Protect, & Preserve
Stella: Disguise, Devotion, & Decree

These women are deeply intertwined in each other's lives the way sisters are: fiercely protective, occasionally ruthless, always loyal. Their lives don't stop when their books end. They evolve. They show up in each other's stories. The universe grows.

Every character is forced to confront the same overarching truth: Your life is more than what you can see, or think you know.

And at the center of every story? Always love. Always partnership. Always the promise that even in a world this dangerous, these connections are worth fighting for.

You're Ready for MORE

You're ready for...MORE. More complexity, more intensity, more consequence. Luxury Romance doesn't play it safe because it trusts you.
