Subscribe to one of the following tier(s) to read this story
Inner Circle$10 / month

This tier is for readers who want to step closer to the heart of the work, where desire, story, and intention entwine. As a member of the Inner Circle, you receive everything from the previous tiers, but with deeper access to the creative process itself: earlier previews, extended behind-the-scenes reflections, and a more direct voice in shaping themes, moods, and future directions.


You will see how characters are born, how tension is layered, how restraint and transgression are balanced, and how the line between longing and consequence is carefully drawn. This is a space for readers who appreciate illicit desire not as spectacle, but as story, and who enjoy watching strong narratives unfold with confidence, sensuality, and purpose.


Above all, this tier exists for those who wish to support the work at a patron level, not because they demand more, but because they want to be closer, more involved, and more invested in the worlds being created. It is quieter, richer, and more personal, a place where storytelling breathes and desire is allowed its full, thoughtful shape.

Book Club$5 / month

This tier is for readers who want to linger with the stories rather than simply consume them. The Book Club is a shared space for updates, advance chapter previews, unpublished work, and behind-the-scenes insight, but more importantly, it is a place to talk about story, character, tension, and the choices that shape each narrative.


Members receive early access to new chapters, exclusive stories not published elsewhere, and regular commentary on themes, inspirations, and moments of illicit desire as they unfold on the page. There is also the opportunity to influence future stories through discussion and polls, helping guide tone, direction, and focus without losing the integrity of the work itself.


This is a relaxed, thoughtful tier for readers who enjoy strong, female-centred storytelling with a dangerous edge, and who like the feeling of reading alongside others who notice the same details, feel the same pull, and appreciate how restraint and transgression are woven together. It is less about exclusivity and more about connection, conversation, and shared anticipation.

My Blacksmith Savior

Farial-Jap-Girl: なんて素敵で、予想もしなかった読書体験なんでしょう! これは間違いなく、ありきたりな恋愛小説ではありません。むしろ、そうじゃないことに感謝したいくらいです。登場人物たちがとてもリアルに感じられるんです。欠点があって、複雑で、情熱的で、人間らしい「白か黒かでは割り切れない」魅力的なグレーの部分に満ちています。怒りや支配、愛、そして怒りの赤い霧に飲み込まれそうになったときに、別の道を選ぶ可能性を描いているところも、とても好きでした。でも正直、一番の驚きは、この本がとにかく楽しく読めたこと! 作者はヒロインの声を見事に描き出していて、私はすっかり別の時代、別の場所へ連れ去られたような気分になりました...
