Harley James
Harley James writes romance with grit, heart, and a little darkness around the edges. From small-town cowboys to paranormal and fantasy worlds, the stories always come back to the same thing: flawed characters, high emotional stakes, and love that has to be fought for. These are romances where the road to a happily-ever-after isn’t easy, but it’s always worth it.
Sorcery’s Dark Embrace was originally published under Jupiter Rose in a closed-door edition. This new version has been fully revised into a spicier, first-person, present-tense dual POV—leaning deeper into the romance, intimacy, and emotional intensity of the story. Because of that shift in tone and heat level, the book is now published under Harley James, where my darker, more sensual romances live.

In the walled city of Aberdeen, obedience is survival.
The nobles rule through fear; public executions keep the population in line, and ciphers like me are nothing more than disposable servants.
Then fragments of my forgotten past surface. The memories carry an impossible truth: I carry a magical bloodline that witch hunters have spent generations trying to erase. A bloodline dangerous enough to threaten the tyrants who rule Aberdeen.
As soldiers close in and old enemies awaken, I find refuge among a rogue group of shifters, who become my family. Dragons, wolves, and bears, who would have thought?
And then there’s him—a man with ocean-blue eyes and dangerous secrets. Trusting him could cost me everything. Loving him could destroy us both.
With rebellion brewing beneath the city, forbidden magic rising within, and the fate of the population hanging in the balance, I’ll have to decide how much I’m willing to sacrifice for freedom.

I came to London to reconnect with my family and uncover their secrets, shattering everything I thought I knew.
The city hides a dark truth. Monsters walk among us, hidden in plain sight—some are allies while others are predators, all of them far more real than I ever imagined.
As if discovering London’s supernatural underworld wasn’t enough, I find myself caught in the middle of a turf war between werewolves and vampires.
Then I meet him, an arrogant, infuriating alpha werewolf who seems determined to get under my skin.
The smarter choice would be to stay away. Unfortunately, I’m not good at making smart choices where he’s concerned.
Dark secrets are revealed, exposing a truth that ties me to this world in ways I never expected. Now suddenly, I’m questioning everything but him.
