TK Fletcher is a Louisiana-based indie author who writes Black romance and romantic suspense. Her love for storytelling began in high school during the Wattpad days, where writing became a creative outlet long before she considered becoming a published author.

After losing her mother in 2025, TK decided it was time to stop keeping her stories to herself and share them with the world. She made her author debut in April 2026 with Worth the Risk.

TK writes about Black love in all its forms, with stories filled with complicated relationships, family, humor, real-life conversations, a little drama, and plenty of spice. Her characters aren’t perfect. They make mistakes, grow, fall in love, and figure life out along the way.

Outside of writing, TK holds multiple degrees and is a proud member of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc.

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.

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!

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've spent centuries existing in the shadows, assuming countless identities. Then I see her, Thetis, and I am drawn to her.
Do I want to be her?
Do I wish to sink my claws into her soft flesh?
No, this feeling is one I do not know.

This insatiable desire to capture her consumes me, I should explore it.

A soul divided. A love resurrected. A monster obsessed.

Celeste Monroe’s life was ordinary—until the blood test.

Promoted to Vice President of a powerful tech firm overnight, Celeste finds herself pulled into a world she can’t explain. Her new boss watches her too closely. Her bodyguard knows things no man should. And every night, her dreams are haunted by fire, blood, and a name she’s never spoken: Seraphine.

What she doesn’t know is that her soul has lived before.
As Seraphine, she was the chosen bride of Lucien, a vampire lord who still longs to complete the ritual that will bind her to him forever.
As Talia, she was the mortal wife of Alaric Æthelwulf—a warrior who died trying to protect her and rose again as something… other.

Now reborn as Celeste, she is caught between two ancient forces:
One who wants to possess her.
And one who wants to save her—whether she wants him to or not.

As her forgotten past claws to the surface, and her blood becomes the center of a supernatural war, Celeste must choose who she truly is—and whether her heart still belongs to a man who’s already died for her once.

Some love stories refuse to die.
Some monsters refuse to let go.

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.
