Hello, Darklings!
What a week it has been. 🖤
Coveted Hearts: Love in the Shadows is officially out in the world, and I’m so excited that Eloise and Kent’s forbidden story finally belongs to you.
If you love secret lovers, sexual awakening, dangerous chemistry, morally complicated choices, and two adults willing to risk everything for a passion they never expected—this one is for you.
She came to watch her son’s karate lesson.
She never expected the sensei to awaken everything she had buried.
Eloise Martin has spent years being the devoted wife and mother everyone expects her to be. Then she meets Kent Bennett.
One look becomes temptation.
One private lesson becomes a secret.
And one forbidden attraction threatens to change everything.

🌙 Behind the Pages
And now that Coveted Hearts is out, I'm already looking toward what comes next.
There are more dark romances waiting in the shadows—including Whispers of Dawn and Black Roses, Behind the Lens: Entangled Souls, Black Reef: Dangerous Desires, and the books of Noirhaven.
A LOT is happening behind the scenes right now, and I can't wait to start revealing more. 👀🖤

💌 A Note From Me
Every time one of my books goes from an idea in my head to something a reader can actually hold—or open on their Kindle—it still feels a little surreal.
There are so many more stories I want to tell.
Some will be dark. Some forbidden. Some dangerous. And, knowing me, quite a few will involve people falling for someone they absolutely shouldn't. 😈
Thank you for reading my books, opening these newsletters, sharing my stories, and being part of this little After Dark corner of the world.
We're only getting started.
Stay wicked,
Kelly Kalas 🖤
Morally Gray Lovers & Wicked Nights 🖤
