Rowena Risqué writes naughty short stories, steamy romance novellas, and spicy romantic suspense novels. Some of her friends-to-lovers romances and erotica have an element of reluctance. She likes a bit of darkness involved as long as no one really gets hurt—at least, only in good ways. ;) Forced proximity and kidnapping romances are her favorites. Rowena enjoys making up circumstances in which two people are forced to confront their feelings—sexual and otherwise—to the object of their desire, feelings they have been hiding or running from because of a major barrier or conflict of interest. Usually, her characters have known each other for quite a while, so their first sexual encounter has been a long time…coming. But she also writes about strangers getting to know each other very quickly! Most of her stories have high-stakes events and/or a moral or psychological thrill.
