Mariah L. Stevens
I am a Black Autistic author who writes contemporary romance, trauma recovery, and paranormal romance novels and fanfiction.
I take the traumatic experiences I have had and channel them into my work in a way that seeks to help with recovery.
I like to write with compassion and diversity, and especially love to give Black characters their happy endings.

Aaliyah Williams didn’t ask to be dragged into the world of vampires.
Now, she’s trapped in the estate of Demetri Cyprian, a vampire as cruel as he is captivating. But the deeper she sinks into his world, the more impossible it becomes to tell the difference between love and hate. Now, they have to work together to convince the coven that she's his prisoner, even at the cost of her own sanity.
In a vampire court where pleasure is a weapon and pain is currency, Aaliyah must decide what she’s willing to lose to survive.
Him? Or herself.
AVAILABLE NOW
It’s been two years since Aaliyah William’s father died, and now, she lives at the bottom of a pit. There are other prisoners here with her, lying in the dark, waiting to be taken. When a familiar face from her past takes her from the pit, she has one goal: find a way to come back for her friends.
There’s just one problem.
Her new captor is a vampire who gives her two choices: give him her blood, or he will take it.
