About Tamar

Tamar Shaw writes dark romance where love is not a salvation arc, it is a weapon, a tether, a choice made with blood on the hands. Her stories live at the intersection of organised crime, psychological obsession, and devotion that borders on annihilation. Nothing is softened. Nothing is accidental.

Her flagship series unfolds as a study in identity, control, and belonging, where monsters are not made, but chosen. Violence is intimate. Loyalty is lethal. And love, once claimed, is absolute.

Bones and Belladonna supports Tamar through personal assistant services, operational systems, and reader facing infrastructure, ensuring her work is released with precision, protection, and long term sustainability, without diluting the darkness that defines it.

Reader communication handled with precision.

Neither of them was meant to survive.
Not the woman with a haunted name,
Nor the man who built a shadow empire from silence, surveillance, and surgical rage to keep her tethered to him.

Killian Thorne doesn’t rule with guns.
He rules with information, code, and strategy.

A billionaire, control coded genius with a past soaked in blood, Killian has evolved beyond the crime syndicate that created him. He doesn’t play the game. He reprograms it, not for power, not for revenge, but because he’s bored.

Ada Murphy was rewritten. Renamed. Repackaged.
Once a satin shoe wearing piano prodigy, now a trauma coded DJ held together by ink, bass drops, and the lie that she could survive in the light, away from the abyss of his shadow.

She chose to leave.
He let her believe that mattered.

But buried names are resurfacing. Encrypted systems are lighting up. And the past Ada was hidden from is clawing its way back, alongside the ghosts Killian buried in blood.

This is not a love story.
It is obsession with a kill count.
A bond forged from violence, silence, and ruin.

And when someone threatens her, there is no negotiation.
Only destruction.

Some truths don’t set you free.

Ada Thorne’s nightmares are worsening, fractured memories of a life she doesn’t remember and a name she can’t outrun.
Anya Mikhailov.
A bloodline soaked in lies.
A past written to keep her compliant.

And if the world thinks Ada is up for grabs, they are catastrophically mistaken.

Killian Thorne was already methodical, controlled, and unhinged. Now, he’s unravelling the tapestry, dragging monsters into the light, burning alliances, and bleeding empires dry. He doesn’t care what collapses or who pays the price.

Because his peace was threatened.

As secrets surface and blood feuds reignite, Killian is forced to confront the cost of his obsession. How much truth can Ada survive? How much control becomes a cage?

The past doesn’t just shatter, it claws at the present, threatening to drag the future into ruin.

Time is running out.
Enemies are moving.
And when the storm breaks, only wrath will remain.

Systems that hold when creativity surges.

Tasneem Alam

Tasneem Alam writes romantasy steeped in longing, inheritance, and the slow violence of destiny.

Campaigns built on strategy, not adrenaline.

About Tasneem

Tasneem Alam writes dark romantasy where power is inherited, memory is manipulated, and devotion is demanded long before it is earned. Her stories interrogate control, who wields it, who survives it, and what is lost when truth is treated as a liability.

Her work is steeped in hierarchy and consequence. Kingdoms are built on selective amnesia. Bloodlines matter more than consent. And love, when it emerges, does so under pressure, shaped by obligation, resentment, and secrets powerful enough to destabilize entire systems.

Bones and Belladonna supports Tasneem through personal assistant services, launch coordination, and operational systems that allow her to build complex worlds without sacrificing creative sustainability or clarity.

Administrative order without creative interference.

She committed a murder, then her mind was wiped to protect those in power.

Rose Craving believed her life was already written.
Be the beloved princess of shifterkind.
Be the trophy mate to the Beta who hates her.
Be beautiful. Be obedient. Be quiet.

Then fate tears through everything.

On the night of her transformation, Rose becomes something no one anticipated: the first female to shift into the elite royal pack made up entirely of men. Her mate’s pack. Led by Beta Josh Hunter, a man who despises her for reasons he refuses to explain.

Rose’s existence is a threat. The closer she comes to uncovering who she truly is, and why Josh’s hatred runs so deep, the more she realizes her world was constructed from carefully curated lies designed to keep everyone ignorant…and to keep Rose safe from her own past.

As ancient forces stir beyond kingdoms, bloodlines, and duty, Rose and Josh are forced into uneasy proximity, training, researching, and navigating a bond neither of them trusts. Secrets surface. Alliances shift. And Rose begins to understand that Josh Hunter is not the man the world believes him to be.

Powerful. Dangerous. Devoted, or something far more treacherous.

With history repeating and the real enemy at the gates, Rose must decide whether to remain loyal to the truth she was given, or stand beside unexpected allies, betray her mate, and unlock the memories that were taken from her.

Because the truth always comes at a cost.
And some secrets were buried for a reason.

Sustainable growth over chaotic virality.

In one single night, Elena wakes to a nightmare that is all too real: her entire family murdered, their bodies drained of blood with no trace of violence left behind. Before she can even gasp, she is introduced as the lost vampire princess, discovered, claimed, and thrust into a world she never asked for.

Recruited into a prestigious vampire boarding school, Elena must navigate sanguine politics, ancient rivalries, and a society that sees her not as a survivor, but as a symbol. Who can she trust when allies walk with fangs disguised as smiles? What secrets lie hidden behind royal protocol, and whose agenda requires her compliance?

As she unravels the truth of her past, her bloodline, and the inheritance she never wanted, Elena discovers powers she doesn’t yet understand, and enemies closer than she suspects.

In Inheritance, Tasneem Alam turns the coming of age narrative into a crucible of legacy, betrayal, and identity forged in fire and blood.

Boundaries protected. Energy preserved.
