Nisha J Tuli writes steamy fantasy romance featuring Fae, vampires, witches and anything else that's magical and hot. When she's not busy writing about heroines with swords in glittering dresses, she's re-reading A Court of Thorns and Roses by Sarah J. Maas or watching The Princess Bride for the millionth time.
If you like her books, she recommends you also check out Jennifer L. Armentrout or Raven Kennedy.

Tusk Love (2025) (Critical Role, book 1) Thea Guanzon "This book had no business being so utterly adorable and sweet but also hot at the same time.
