Romance & dark romance
Dark romance for the ones who feel everything.
A note from Amalia
Some love stories save you. Mine ask what happens when desire, revenge and devotion become impossible to separate.
Stories for late nights, dangerous choices and hearts that refuse to stay quiet.
The books
Choose your obsession.
Three books. Two dangerous worlds. No safe way back.
The Rivals of Elite · Book one
Tiffany Sinclair has always been untouchable. Then one mistake gives her fiercest rival the leverage to pull her behind the gates of his world.
Standalone revenge romance
Meredith came to Las Vegas to forget. Instead, she walked back into the man who broke her and the one who could help destroy him.
The Rivals of Elite · Book two
She stopped fighting it. Tiffany Sinclair spent two months hating the man who bought her — and somewhere in all of it, the hate turned into something far worse.
The last page is never the end
Every book is a game. Nobody leaves it unmarked.
Choose which one you open first.
I write the kind of lovethat ruins the silence.

Yes. Marked by Him is a standalone second-chance romance, so you do not need to read any other book first. It follows Meredith White, who comes to Las Vegas a year after being left at the altar and runs straight back into the man who broke her.
He Played Me is an 18+ dark college romance, which the author also describes as dark academic romance. It is built on an academic rivalry between Tiffany Sinclair and Tristan Ford, and it is the 634-page first book in The Rivals of Elite series.
Yes. Amalia Brooks describes The Rivals of Elite as a strict 18+ dark romance. He Played Me focuses heavily on obsession, possessiveness and dark rituals, with explicit sexual content, and They Played Me continues Tiffany Sinclair and Tristan Ford's story in the same tone.
Amalia Brooks started on Wattpad, where her debut reached over 200,000 readers. That response inspired her to publish on Kindle Unlimited. She began writing her debut novel, Marked by Him, when she was 17, so years of work sit behind that story.
