Hi, I'm Lyra

I write MM dark romance about fictional men who should probably be in prison and love that doesn’t always take the healthiest path.My obsession with MM romance began many years ago with yaoi manga and BL dramas. Since then, fiction has become both an escape and a way to safely explore the darker, messier corners of human relationships. The ones that would have everyone screaming “red flag” in real life but keep us turning pages at three in the morning.

Books

The Punisher

Releases November 30, 2026.

Revenge was the plan. Obsession was the consequence.I want revenge.
Not justice or closure.
Revenge.
Lucas Taylor almost took my son from me. Now it’s my turn to take something from him. Except there’s one problem.
My prey has a death wish.
Where’s the satisfaction in killing a man who’s already given up? Killing him would be a mercy, and I don’t reward my enemies.
So I come up with a crueler punishment.
I’ll make him want to live.
I’ll become the reason he smiles.
The reason he hopes.
The reason he needs tomorrow.
Then I’ll take it all away.
That was the plan, anyway.
What I didn’t expect was for the beast in me to find its heartbeat.
