About the author

Rilee Bern

<p>Rilee Bern writes dark romance that dives into the raw, dangerous edges of human emotion and desire. A Midwestern university professor by day, Rilee holds a PhD in contemporary literature, with a scholarly obsession for dystopian worlds, digital narratives, and the psychology of modern media.</p><p>Blending academic insight with a love for the forbidden and the emotionally intense, Rilee brings a uniquely psychological and atmospheric voice to the dark romance genre—where obsession, power, and vulnerability collide.</p><p>When not crafting emotionally charged stories or lecturing on the stories we tell ourselves, Rilee can be found dissecting the cultural impact of emerging technologies or braving the long winters of the Great Lakes region with coffee and a dangerously overactive imagination.</p><p><br> </p>
