Nia Vale has been famous since she was sixteen.

As one of the most recognizable voice actresses and body models in gaming, Nia has built a career giving life to characters players worship, mourn, and quote like scripture. Beautiful, quick-witted, and impossible to ignore, she knows how to handle fame, conventions, fans, interviews, and the constant hunger of an industry that has always wanted more from her.

But after two stalkers and a near-kidnapping, her father has had enough.

Nolan Vale, tech billionaire and overprotective widower, spares no expense hiring Daniel Nez, a Navajo former spec ops soldier with a flawless record and no interest in being charmed by his new client. Daniel is serious, direct, disciplined, and about as fun as a locked door.

Nia cannot stand him.

Unfortunately, she also cannot stop looking at him.

Daniel was hired to protect Nia for the next two years as she steps into the biggest role of her career: Queen Seraphine Valeira in Crownfall, the long-awaited comeback project from legendary Japanese game director Daichi Moriyama. The game is massive. The reveal is career-defining. And Nia is not just the voice of its displaced queen.

She is the face, the body, and the soul of her.

As Daniel follows Nia through packed conventions, recording sessions, press events, and studio appearances, irritation turns into trust. Trust turns into heat. And heat turns into a secret neither of them can afford.

Then, on the eve of Nia’s biggest announcement, her ex, disgraced gaming executive Liam MacArthur, releases AI-generated images designed to ruin her reputation and derail her career. The images are fake, but they are convincing enough to make the world question her.

Daniel knows the truth.

Because according to the timestamp, Nia was with him.

Exposing their relationship may save her career, but it also turns Liam’s obsession into something far more dangerous. If he cannot destroy Nia publicly, he will take her privately.

And Daniel did not fall for Nia Vale just to let another man put his hands on her.

I’m Tierra Cox, a romance author and cross-genre novelist devoted to stories where we, Black women, are seen, desired, and worshiped out loud.

By day, I navigate the corporate communications world—but by night, I build realms where monsters kneel, empires burn, and love is never ordinary.

Armed with an overpriced English degree and an imagination that refuses to stay quiet, I write across fantasy, paranormal, sci-fi, and gothic romance—all bound by one promise: Black women at the center of passion, power, and possibility.

Every world I create asks the same question—what does it look like when a woman like us is the story’s beating heart? Expect devotion, danger, and desire that lingers long after the final page.

When I’m not writing (which is rare), you’ll find me somewhere in Georgia watching bad sci-fi, dreaming about alien royalty, or wandering through my next world before it’s written.

My entire collection is available on NOIR PAGES, in paperback on Amazon and in collections on my website!

Wildlife Vet Charlotte Bennett is used to solitude. Glacier’s silence has always steadied her—until the night gunshots split the air in a no-hunting zone. Tracking the sound, she finds a wounded cougar that behaves in a way no wild animal should: it trusts her.

She doesn’t know the creature is Miisii—Vincent—a Blackfeet protector and shifter sworn to guard Glacier’s hidden kin. A group of shifter-hunters has crossed into the park, and one of his brothers is already dead. Injured by a silver bullet that traps him in cougar form, Miisii must rely on the vet who should have feared him.

As winter deepens, Charlotte and Vincent cross paths again—first ranger and vet, then something far more dangerous. The poachers notice her bond with the mysterious cougar and decide she’s the perfect bait. To save her, Vincent must break centuries of secrecy and reveal the truth of what he is and who he protects.

When the thaw finally comes, Charlotte must decide whether the world she knows is big enough to hold the one Vincent reveals—and whether love can be forged between a woman of the wild and the man who becomes its fiercest guardian.
