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.

Dark Fantasy • Forbidden Love • Savage Rebellion

In the rotting carcass of Aberdeen, the ashes still drift through the air. I live my worst nightmare with no memory of who I am. It's been buried, and it's slowly digging its way back to the surface.

When dormant magic awakens and coils inside my veins, my world changes; I'm no longer the prey. Is it a curse or a blessing?

Joined by a rogue pack of shifters, we fight for freedom. A rebellion festers underground, and we have become their weapon.

And then there's him, a spark against gasoline. Trust is not easy, and dark and light don't mix. Illusions betray, as treason and war swallow the land.

Am I the saviour or the darkness that will destroy everything? Even I don't know. The more I learn, the more I realize I'll never walk away with my soul intact. 

THE UNCHAINED ALPHA (1).jpg

He stands roughly six feet four. 

I like tall men. 

He’s unshaven, big-boned and looks like a brute. 

Not my type. 

Turns out I lied.

I was born in London and taken by my father fifteen years ago. Now I’m back, only to find out he wasn’t my father and my family has some pretty dark secrets.

Vampires, shifters? What the hell? I discover I’m standing in the middle of a turf war.

What’s a girl supposed to do?
