ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Hi, I’m Cynthia.
I’ve always loved writing little stories, whether fanfic online or just for myself, but 2024 was the year I first wondered if one of them could become an actual book. This series started as a simple “what if”: what if I tried to write the kind of romance novels I’ve always wanted to read?
The short answer: it completely took over my life (in the best way).
Now I spend way too many late nights writing, overthinking dialogue, and arguing with
fictional characters. Somewhere along the way, I realized I care more about my
characters’ love lives than my own sleep schedule.
When I’m not writing, I’m usually reading, planning my next story, or drinking more
coffee than any normal person should, ideally while complaining that real life
seriously lacks dramatic romantic tension.
The rules were written in ink and blood.
Wanting her broke them all.
Wanting her broke them all.
AVAILABLE NOW
The Whispers Between Us
Charlotte Fairmont knows her duty — save her family from ruin by marrying well,
regardless of her heart’s desires. The engagement is expected, the wedding planned and
her future sealed. But when she overhears her intended threatening everything her family
has left, she has no choice but to fight back. And no one to turn to but a stranger with
clever eyes and too many secrets.
He shouldn't be her ally. He certainly shouldn't be anything more.
But he makes her feel what no proper suitor ever has: A flutter. A yearning. A dangerous
hope that could cost her everything she holds dear.
