I spoke with Measha Stone, a dark romance author of spicy and complex psychological thrillers such as Dolly and Marked, as well as mafia romance series, Mafia Brides and Vicious Sinners. We explored Dolly, one of my favorite reads of 2024, a psychological thriller that blends survivor healing, trauma bonding, and gloriously cathartic revenge, and how she crafts protective heroes, powerful heroines, and that sigh-worthy “ahh” ending after the chaos. Measha shares her writing process, what inspires her, including her favorite authors and films, and how dark romance can be a safe place to feel hard things. We discuss her Vicious Sinners series, including Devious Corruption, her newest book, arriving October 17 on Kindle Unlimited. We also discussed the Mafia Brides series starting point (Taken by Him), her Stalked by a Monster collaboration with Zoe Blake and Sarah Fields. Measha shared a tender love letter to readers to round out this intimate, empowering conversation.
