The Tyrant’s Gentle Wife Series
          Book 1: The Bastard Princess
          Book 2: The Empress
          Book 3 (Prequel): The Unloved Queen (Elias & Veronica’s story)
          Book 4: The Unwavering Crown (Lysandra’s story)

I’m officially one year away from graduating with my bachelor’s in Criminal Justice and earning my undergraduate certificates in Leadership & Ethics and Crime Scene Investigation.
          
          My family: “That’s amazing! So… when are you getting married and having babies?”
          
          Me: “…Respectfully, have y’all seen my to-do list?”
          
          The current plan is to go from enlisted Navy to hopefully earning a commission as a Naval officer. Then I’m going straight into my master’s degree.
          
          Children? Sir… ma’am… the only thing I’m raising right now is my GPA.
          
          Ask me again in four years.
          
          Also, I have a serious problem. I’ve spent years writing fictional men who communicate, apologize, respect women, and would overthrow kingdoms for the people they love. My standards are so unrealistic at this point that unless God personally drops one of them into my path with a name tag that says, “Hi, I’m your husband,” I’m going to keep focusing on my degree.
          
          Love can wait.
          
          These assignments can’t. 

The Tyrant’s Gentle Wife: The Iron Princess (book 4)
          
          The world sees Lysandra as the cold, calculating heir to the greatest empire on the continent. In truth, she is a daughter determined to protect the family, kingdom, and legacy that gave her everything.
          
          Before the crown becomes hers, she steals one last taste of freedom beyond the palace walls, where she meets a man who openly despises royalty—never realizing he’s arguing with the future empress.
          
          The man chosen for her is everything an empire could need.
          
          The stranger is everything her heart should never want.
          
          She always believed she could learn to love the man she married.
          
          She never imagined she would fall in love first.
          
          Now she must choose between the kingdom she swore to protect… and the man her heart refuses to let go.

Funny facts about the original plot of The Tyrant’s Gentle Wife:
          
          1. Elias was supposed to be gay. I changed that around Chapter 10 because I was already writing another story with a gay main character and didn’t want to accidentally give them the same personality.
          
          2. Veronica was supposed to be Achille’s lover… and the main villain. Yep. She was originally going to show up around Chapter 8, make Ophelia’s life miserable, and fight for Achille’s attention every chance she got.
          
          Instead, I accidentally made her everyone’s emotionally unavailable aunt with anger issues and turned her into one of Ophelia’s biggest supporters.
          
          Sometimes your characters look at your outline and say, “Absolutely not.”

Hello author. i just wanna ask if the season 3 of the tyrants gentle wife is still about ophelia and achille? Thank youu. its just confusing. 

I'm totally obsessed with the tyrant gentle wife please update faster 

And that she knows he wears glasses...
          I love this story.

The chapters are taking a little longer because I’m writing Ophelia’s labor scene, and I’d really like to do it justice.
          
          The only problem?
          
          I’ve never had a child… let alone twins.
          
          So this is completely uncharted territory for me. My search history is absolutely terrifying at this point, and I’ve watched more childbirth videos than I ever thought I would in the name of “research.”
          
          Let’s just say the scene is becoming a lot more realistic…
          
          …and my desire to have kids has dropped significantly. 
          

Writing Veronica’s story has been devastating. I always knew portraying the reality of living under a tyrant would be painful… but I don’t think I was prepared for just how heartbreaking it would become.
