Hi, I'm Mary A. Lydick-writer of the soft, the shattered, and the stories that hurt just enough to matter.

I write dark romance for readers who crave emotionally tangled characters, obsession disguised as love, and the kind of heartbreak you feel long after the final page.

When I'm not unraveling fictional lives, I'm living the chaos of real ones-cheering at my kids' basketball games, tearing up at band performances, tending to my garden, or wandering outdoors trying to breathe in a little peace between deadlines.

I believe love isn't always soft. That the most powerful healing starts in the wreckage. And that sometimes, the most dangerous hearts beat the loudest.

Welcome to the darker side of romance. You're safe here-but not unscathed.
