Corinne Russeau is an award-winning romance author whose stories span dark Romantasy, romantic suspense, and contemporary romance.
Born in the shadowed valleys of Transylvania and raised among ancient legends, Corinne draws inspiration from Egyptian mysticism, Atlantean mythology, and her years spent dancing under the neon lights of San Francisco.
Her debut dark Romantasy novel, VAELRYN, launches her series, Gate of Blood & Tears, a world of vampires, ancient bloodlines, forbidden hunger, and fated love.
She is also the author of the five-book romantic suspense series Into the Crossfire. Its first installment, Seducing Katya, earned Silver Medals from the Global Book Awards in both 2024 and 2025 and was named a semifinalist in ScreenCraft’s Cinematic Book Competition.
Her other works include the contemporary romance duet Real with You and Obsessed with You.
At the heart of her stories are characters who live fully, feel deeply, and risk everything for love.
Enter her world carefully.
Desire always has a price.
Driven by passion
There comes a moment when you stop pretending the light was ever enough.
This is that moment.
I’m stepping into something darker. More dangerous. More intoxicating.
These stories are not sweet.
They are seductive. Obsessive. Unapologetically steamy.
They are told in first person… so close you can feel the breath at your throat.
My heroines do not beg to be saved.
They are power wrapped in silk and shadow. They are meant to be queens.
And the men who love them?
They would kill to protect what fate has marked as theirs.
This is vampire romance with hunger. With blood.
With destiny that refuses to loosen its grip.
Come closer. You’ve already been chosen.
A glimpse into my creative world
My home is my sanctuary, and I've always loved creating beautiful spaces that inspire me.
From rearranging furniture (much to my sister's dismay when we were growing up) to finding the perfect spot to write, I love surrounding myself with beauty, light, and a little inspiration.
Of course, my cats have their own ideas about my creative process, usually involving a casual stroll across my keyboard.
