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.

Sorcery’s Dark Embrace
Dark Fantasy • Forbidden Romance • Fierce Rebellion
Magic is outlawed. Love is dangerous. And some bloodlines were never meant to stay buried.
In the shattered city of Aberdeen, witchcraft is punishable by death and shifters survive by hiding in the shadows. Claire doesn’t remember who she was before the scars, the nightmares, or the cursed magic burning in her veins—but she knows someone wants her dead. When fragments of her past resurface, they reveal a powerful bloodline tied to ancient magic…and a fate written in blood.
Pulled into an underground rebellion led by rogue shifters and dragons, Claire is forced to embrace abilities she barely understands. As the regime tightens its grip, she finds herself drawn to a love she should never want—one forged in danger, secrecy, and impossible choices. Loving him could destroy the rebellion. Losing him could destroy her.
With witch hunters closing in, betrayal lurking in every shadow, and her past threatening to consume her, Claire must decide what she’s willing to sacrifice—for magic, for freedom, and for a love powerful enough to defy the darkness itself.

Forbidden love with real emotional stakes
