TROPES

🩰 She just wants to dance. He just wants to devour her. Guess whose schedule wins.

💀 He fell first (and considers it a curse, not a blessing)

🗡️ Touch Her and Die (he means it literally)

⛓️ Fated mates/Soulbond (neither of them asked for this)

👑 High Lord heir who views his bonded as both treasure and inconvenience

🏰 Morally gray MMC who decapitates first and asks questions never

🩹 She has chronic pain. He has chronic homicidal tendencies. They'll figure it out.

💍 Coerced courtship (she negotiates; he lets her think she's winning)

🎭 Hidden heritage (surprise, you might not be fully human)

🫂 Found family with his band of loyal, morally flexible warriors

🔥 Dual POV with a FMC who says no and an MMC who respects it (mostly)

DETAILED TRIGGER WARNING

This is a racism free, sexism free, misogynistic free, homophobia free, sex negativity free society. (The Fae, anyway. Can't vouch for the damn humans.)

There are no negative words or connotations regarding any gender identification, biological sex, sexual orientation and practice (other than pedophilia,) or family/pair groups.

What you will find is a society based on a caste system set up and maintained by power. Who has it, and who doesn't. This culture DOES NOT value consent in the traditional sense. If you have power enough that no one can hold you accountable, you can do whatever you want.

This is a morally gray adult fantasy romance series. This is not a Judeo/Christian culture, and they do not have your moral/religious codes. If you read this through the lens of your own ethics you may find aspects of the story disturbing.

Themes include:

• chronic illness/pain (endometriosis)

• possessive/controlling behavior

• graphic violence/murder

• kidnapping

• torture

• dubious consent dynamics

• drug references (Ixnie)

• sexual harassment (by secondary character)

HASANNAH

I came to Casakraine to dance—not to catch the eye of a High Fae Lord. 

Not to become soulbonded to an immortal who looks at me like I'm already his.

Lord Andreien is everything I was warned about. Dangerous. Possessive. Powerful beyond comprehension.

He vows to protect me, but his very nature could destroy my dreams of joining the realm's most prestigious dance company.

And I have secrets that could shatter any chance of a future together.

 

ANDREIEN

I've spent centuries avoiding the soulbond curse that plagues my bloodline. 

Then I see her dancing on a moonlit street. Human. Mortal. Mine.

One glimpse and the binding snaps into place. My little dancer thinks she can keep me at arm's length while she chases her dreams.

She has no idea what it means to be claimed by a High Fae Lord.

I would burn down my own Court to keep her safe. But she refuses to be caged, even in a gilded prison of my making.

Let her dance. Let her resist. In the end, she'll learn that a High Lord's patience has limits.

 

BOUND BY DANCE AND DESIRE is a steamy fantasy romance featuring a dangerous Fae Lord, a determined dancer who won't surrender her dreams, and a soul bond neither can deny.

Adult Stories

Dark high fantasy romance for POC women over 30

Ideal for readers loving POC women over 30 as fierce heroines in high-heat romantasy. No YA tropes—think complex characters who claim their power in morally great worlds.

Antihero Appeal

Morally gray Fae, shifters & enemies-to-lovers

Unhinged antiheroes only: morally gray fae shifters, brooding dragon lords, possessive orc warlords. High-heat enemies-to-lovers arcs with epic stakes and real chemistry.

Rich, Diverse Worlds

Game of Thrones/House of the Dragon x ACOTAR (30+ & WOC)

If you wished Game of Thrones had a WOC lead and Feyre in ACOTAR was at least 30, you'll devour this series. Inclusive societies, strong family bonds—grab your copy now!

Emma (Shahrazad) is a Black/white Muslim American mom of five in her mid-forties just trying to live her best life…which usually includes coffee, wine, and an unfortunate habit of one-clicking any pretty special edition that winds up in her feed. (If you DM it, she will come.)

If you are looking for romantic epic fantasy set in complex, diverse, sex positive worlds with morally gray societies, powerful anti-heroes with THAD energy, multi-racial heroines at least 35 years old—if not 350—coming into power, and a central theme of family, both dysfunctional and supportive, then you will binge her stories.
