About the Author
Penny Mappoura-Salmon writes dark, emotional romance that burns before it heals — stories about broken souls, dangerous devotion, and love that finds beauty in the ruin.

Greek Cypriot by blood and married to her Jamaican muse, Penny draws inspiration for her leading men from her husband, Jason — the fire and balance behind her first unforgettable hero, Jacob McKenzie.

When she’s not writing, Penny can be found behind the bar she manages, lifting heavy things at the gym, or sipping bourbon — her ritual fuel for diving into the darkest corners of the heart and mind.

Her debut, Awakening Elaina, launched The Dark Series — a sensual, psychological exploration of love, trauma, and redemption that proves not all love stories are soft.

🖤 Obsessive. Dark. Addictive.
