Behind the byline

About the author

Oryan's writing encompasses a myriad of romance-driven tropes dedicated to readers who desire an unbridled clusterfuck of drama, obsession, and passion. Often driven by a strong female lead, Oryan's stories satisfy those who enjoy josei, smut, and unhinged drama.

"Come, have a seat as we sip tea and indulge in all the mess, regret, theatrics, beautiful men, a sprinkle of second chances, the occasional revenge arc, and, of course, there will be sexual tension for days, honey, because on occasion, I like my tea to be piping hot!"
