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?

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.

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.

KyuBeom Yoon is known as the ice prince of the renowned K-pop group, C4. All he wanted was to get away from it all—the lights, the cameras, and the fame that comes with being an idol. And all he wants is Maya Campoy. With Maya, he gets the chance to feel normal, to be loved, to be happy...

Unfortunately, things don’t always go as planned. Years later, he finds himself on a radio show reliving a tale of love and heartbreak, wondering if, at the end of it all, she’ll give him another chance.

Juniper Wells never expected her favorite K-pop group, Voix, to notice her, let alone invite her backstage.

What begins as a chance meeting turns into something far more binding when she signs a non-disclosure agreement she doesn’t fully read.

The document ties her to three men who rule both the stage and the shadows—Taek, the controlled perfectionist; Rion, all motion and instinct; and Seungmin, the deceptively playful craftsman.

Their world is glitter, power, and unspoken rules. Hers is the ordinary rhythm of a woman who has wanted too much for too long.

When desire collides with control, Juniper learns that surrender and strength might share the same pulse—and that the line between devotion and freedom is never where you think it is.

It's a strange thing, desire.

It solidifies itself as a craving that melts into a want before becoming a pool of need that ebbs and flows into a passion. Before you know it, it evaporates into the mist of ache that you inhale as lust. Then you're lost.

Alois Floquet, finds himself quickly enraptured by the brown skinned beauty, Isani Carr, and he will stop at nothing to make sure her every need is filled.

Cassandra Ballentine moved to Japan to start over not to become someone's fixation.

Beautiful, ambitious, and determined to keep her independence, she refuses to mistake attention for destiny. She dates. She explores. She guards her freedom carefully.

Kaede Asano is patient.

He is attentive.

And he is absolutely certain she belongs with him.

When Cassandra joins his company, Kaede decides he will prove himself worthy, slowly, meticulously, relentlessly. He learns her routines. Anticipates her needs. Watches every shift in her expression until he's convinced he understands her better than anyone ever could.

But Cassandra doesn't remember their relationship the same way.

Told through fractured dual perspectives, I Remember Us Differently is a psychological dark romance about obsession masquerading as devotion, desire edged with fear, and the terrifying intimacy of being loved by someone who refuses to see you clearly.

When two truths collide, only one question remains:

Is this love... or the beginning of something far more dangerous?

Where others see danger, Cerys searches for patterns. Meaning. A way to understand what should not exist.

Then the agency captures Aries Strix.

He is not what they expected.

Descended from the first Veilborn bloodline, Aries carries the bound essence of Rhexiel, an Umbriel Devourer, one of the oldest shadow-born predators in existence. For thirty-four years, Aries has shared his body with the ancient being inside him, tempering Rhexiel’s hunger at the cost of his own autonomy.

But Aries is not possessed.

He is shared.

Two consciousnesses.
One body.
A bond forged in childhood, sustained by restraint, and complicated by something far more dangerous than fear.

Choice.

PRE-ORDER FOR JULY 27, 2027

Dove Mordrake is a sanctuary for dangerous men.

Beautiful, commanding, and touched by an ancient dragon-borne curse, she inspires a devotion that follows her beyond death. Three men already remain at her side—jealous, obsessive, and eternally hers—serving as both weapons and proof of what happens when a man surrenders himself completely.

As a mercenary and entity hunter, Dove accepts only the contracts she considers justified. So when she’s offered a fortune to assassinate weapons developer Kiyoshi Watanabe, she investigates her target—and refuses. Kiyoshi isn’t the monster she was promised. More troubling is the desperation of whoever wants him dead.

Before Dove can uncover the truth, the Entity Containment Protocol Society sends its most enigmatic agent to bring her in. Agent 3 is composed, perceptive, and strangely resistant to the pull that makes other men unravel around her. He should be another obstacle. Instead, he may be the only person who understands the war gathering in the shadows.

Then Dove’s home is breached and her beloved cousin, Fern, is taken.

The vampires responsible don’t merely want Kiyoshi’s work destroyed. They want the secret behind Dove’s immortal devotees—and they’re willing to use the only woman she loves to claim it.

To bring Fern home, Dove must form an uneasy alliance with a man who’s been ordered to contain her, enter a conflict capable of reshaping the supernatural world, and confront the question no one has survived long enough to ask:

If Dove can turn devotion into a weapon, what happens when someone finally earns hers?

Everyone at the Grand Meridian Hotel knows one rule: never unlock Room 717.

Mara Clarnon, the night receptionist, has heard every story—whispers about the charming spirit who roams the halls, the one who calls himself Mr. Black. He’s not like the others. He talks, laughs, listens. He moves objects just to make her smile. To Mara, he feels more alive than most of the guests she checks in.

When Mr. Black confides that he’s trapped outside his old room, longing to remember how he died, Mara’s empathy outweighs her fear. After all, what harm could come from opening one locked door?

The night she turns the key, the hotel falls quiet. A single light burns behind her as she realizes some doors were never meant to be opened.

Every year, she spends the anniversary with the women who helped her survive it.

This time, they’ve booked a secluded inn in New Orleans—a beautiful house near the Mississippi, where the windows glow after dark and the innkeeper makes her feel wanted.

With his easy Cajun charm and unsettling attention, he’s a welcome distraction from memories that won’t let her sleep. Until he begins asking questions her friends don’t want to answer.

He knows things about that night. Things she never told him.

As familiar stories unravel and tensions rise, she finds herself drawn closer to a man whose tenderness is as unnerving as his smile. He promises her the truth. But discovering what he knows may cost her every friendship she brought through his door.

At this inn, hospitality comes with a reckoning.

And the keeper has taken a particular interest in her.

Unemployed and burning through her savings, Rachel inherits a house from a great-aunt, Beatrice. Her best friend, Natay, is struggling too. A paid-off home and a little inheritance money could give them both a chance to start over.

Then they find a message written across the wall:

I’M GOING TO GIVE YOU GOOD NIGHTMARES.

They think the house is haunted. The Church knows it’s a prison.

Two entities are bound to the property, and Rachel has inherited the power to hold its strange doorways steady. Ephraim has a hard attitude and a growing weakness for her. Morrow invades Natay’s dreams and becomes far too interested in staying close. Sharing a home with them is unnerving. Falling for them wasn’t part of the plan.

But Beatrice’s death has left something vulnerable between worlds, and an ancient creature is searching for a way through. Rachel’s still learning what she can do. Natay’s dreams are opening doors of their own. Together, they’ll have to protect the home they’ve finally found—and the monsters who are beginning to make it feel like one.

After all, monsters aren’t always the worst things waiting outside your door.

Zaira Monroe has everything she needs — because she’s always known exactly what she wants. A brilliant mind, a thriving career, and a husband once hailed as a hero. But behind closed doors, her marriage is a graveyard of unsaid apologies and nights spent starving for warmth.

On a business trip to Tokyo, a chance visit to an exclusive host club sets her fate ablaze. There, in the neon-lit hush of secrets and sake, she meets Kuro: a captivating host with an artist’s soul and a smile that sees too much.

He makes her laugh. He makes her confess. He makes her remember who she was before she was anyone’s wife.

One stolen night becomes two, and soon Zaira's carefully curated life threatens to unravel — tangled in silk sheets, whispered truths, and a love that feels as dangerous as it is undeniable.

How far will she go to claim a devotion she was never meant to have? And what will it cost her when the lies run out?

Lia Babineaux hails from a long line of famed Babineaux witches known for their immense power and ability to wield various types of magick. Having lost both her mother and aunt at a young age, she is raised under a heavy thumb by her grandmother, Cecilia, who doesn’t want to lose Lia to the same fate that cost Lia’s mother her life.

However, like the witches that came before her, Lia has a curiosity about magick that is insatiable and which, in her opinion, her grandmother is taking too long to help her develop. That curiosity leads her to the Babineaux family grimoire, a spell book her abilities are nowhere near advanced enough to handle. Her amateur skills result in the rise of a demon, Seokjin, who bonds to her as her familiar; essentially the other half to her whole.

Seokjin and Lia become close as the years pass, facing every threat head-on as a team and then, eventually, as lovers. Along the way, their team grows to include more witches, a gargoyle, a Fae, and even a vampire. With a legacy of power behind her, Lia unravels the path to a mystery that could help her uncover the truth behind her mother and aunt’s deaths, and despite a secret Seokjin is forced to hide from the woman he loves.

When Ione discovers a strange box buried in her garden, she doesn’t expect it to contain the ring of a long-lost primordial god. But the moment she slips it on, she’s bound to Athanasius—lord of death and darkness, and an infuriatingly smug immortal with an agenda of his own. Now tethered to a powerful being who’s less “evil overlord” and more “cosmic chaos with a flair for sarcasm,” Ione is thrust into a world of ancient magic, looming threats, and a bond that’s far more complicated—and thrilling—than she ever imagined.

They have always belonged to each other—just never in the way the world understands.

Raised between two countries and bound by a friendship forged long before they had a choice, Berlin and Jiwon grew up as constants in each other’s lives. Summers were shared. Grief was shared. Even distance never truly separated them.

So when Jiwon calls from Seoul with news he can’t explain over the phone, Berlin doesn’t hesitate—she goes to him, the way they always have for each other.

What she finds waiting for her will change everything.

As family obligations tighten and old traditions threaten to dictate the future, a decision made in desperation draws them into an arrangement that blurs the line between pretense and truth. Forced to confront grief, loyalty, and the quiet love they’ve never dared to name, they must learn what it means to choose each other—not out of habit, but out of intention.

Because some families are born.
And some are built, piece by piece, by those brave enough to stay.

Hanuel & Malcolm is a tender, emotionally rich contemporary romance about found family, second chances, and the courage it takes to claim the life—and love—you’ve already been living.

Agent Four knows how to kill vampires.

As a high-ranking ECPS hunter and descendant of Van Helsing, she has spent her life protecting the human world from the monsters feeding in its shadows.

Then she finds a blood-covered stranger standing in the ruins of a slaughtered coven.

He looks like a vampire. Smells like one, too. But he does not burn under UV light, and he claims to be something far rarer: a dhampir who has been hunting the same enemy she has.

The coven was searching for the First, an ancient vampire source tied to the oldest bloodlines and the crumbling power of vampire society. Agent Four has ECPS access. He has underworld knowledge. Neither trusts the other, but both know this hunt is bigger than one dead coven.

And the closer they get to the truth, the more dangerous their blood becomes.
