edit data

S.J. Sanford writes dark, taboo, and paranormal romance for readers who crave obsession over safety and monsters over morals. Her stories explore forbidden desire, fractured devotion, and love that borders on ruin—where villains are tempting, boundaries blur, and happily-ever-afters come with teeth.

Drawn to obsessive devotion, forbidden bonds, and dangerously intense relationships, S.J.’s work centers emotionally charged romances that refuse to play nice. These are tales for readers who like their love possessive, their tension sharp, and their monsters adored.

When she’s not writing, S.J. is usually reading dark romance with a cup of tea, unapologetically rooting for the most dangerous character in the room.
