Ready for your first adventure?

Where quick, heartfelt escapes are just a few pages away.

I’m Lainey Jo Charles, and I craft erotic romance novellas for the busy bees of the world – whether you’re juggling spreadsheets or bedtime stories.

My tales are designed to be your secret indulgence during those stolen moments – maybe in a lunch break or while the little one naps.

They’re uncomplicated, yet deeply satisfying narratives that promise not just an escape, but a spark of joy and a dash of excitement in your day-to-day routine. It’s about adding a sprinkle of zest without demanding much from your already full plate.

My journey began with a simple desire to create short, uncomplicated stories.

Stories that provided not just an emotional escape but also a physical release for those who struggle with turning off their busy brains at night.

When I was immediately offered a 3-book contract after publishing my first story, I knew I had found my calling. My stories have since found a home in the hearts of many, resonating with readers who appreciate my unique voice and storytelling style.

If you’re yearning for a small yet meaningful diversion from your everyday routine, my tales promise…

Passion, Pleasure, and a Much-Needed Pause.
