Living The Dream

Reality.

The one thing I thought I'd never have, no matter how much I dreamed of living in it. Dreams swallowed me whole for over a century, and now I'm finally free.

But I'm not safe. Not even close.

My parents are still out there, and we have no idea why they did this to me. Cedric's fate is unknown, and the High Coven is on my heels for answers.

I'm no longer a Null. I'm no longer the problem my parents made me out to be. But where do I belong?

My men are at my side, as protective as always. But will they learn to let go when needed?

Join Violette in her search for herself, her place in the world, and the love she never thought she'd have.

Living The Dream is the second book in the When Dreams Meet Reality duology. It's a tale of reclamation, of growth, and of a polycule that will fight for their love no matter who they have to face.

Every book, four promises.

  • 01

    Why choose

    She doesn't pick. Nobody makes her. Several love interests, all of them distinct.

  • 02

    Paranormal

    Mates, magic, ghosts and the occasional apocalypse. The world looks like ours until it very much doesn't.

  • 03

    Found family

    The ensemble matters as much as the romance. Too many people, one kitchen, zero boundaries.

  • 04

    Deadpan chaos

    Jokes at deeply inappropriate moments. Usually right after something terrible happens.

The library

Pick your poison.

Five worlds, zero obligation to choose. Tap a cover for blurbs, warnings and where to buy.

The warning label

What you're in for.

Paranormal and fantasy why choose romance. Magic is real, love is complicated, and the cast is too large for anyone's comfort.

What you'll find

  • Multiple POVsFrom the FMC and her men, so you know exactly how badly everyone is coping.
  • Distinct dynamicsEvery relationship in the harem feels different. No copy-paste love interests.
  • Found familyThe ensemble matters as much as the romance, across every book.
  • Deadpan humourIn dark moments. Especially in dark moments.
  • Lived-in worldsBuilt through character experience, not info dumps.
  • Fast to medium burnThey like each other fairly quickly. Everything else is the complicated part.

Tropes, on purpose

  • Why choose
  • Morally grey love interests
  • Found family
  • Fated mates / mate bonds
  • Sword crossing
  • MM between love interests
  • Power dynamics (handled with care)
  • Chosen one / hidden identity
  • BDSM-adjacent in select titles

Content warnings

Everything is 18+. Across the catalogue, expect:

  • Explicit sexual content
  • Violence and dark themes
  • Trauma as part of character backstory
  • Power dynamics between characters
  • Death of secondary characters

Book-specific warnings live on each book. Spoilery ones are blurred until you tap.

Heat level: it depends.

Spice shows up when the story has earned it. Some books run hotter than others. Everyone involved is an adult, and everyone involved is having a better time than the villain.
