Dahlia Vale writes dark, dangerously addictive contemporary romances where alpha-holes seduce, power corrupts, and pleasure always comes with a price.
Her stories are fast-paced, filthy, and emotionally intense—perfect for readers who crave morally gray men, broken heroines, toxic desire, and the kind of love that leaves scars.
If you’re into obsession, dominance, betrayal, and just the right amount of emotional ruin… you’re in the right place.
Dahlia is the dark romance alter ego of international bestselling author Christina Diane, who also writes spicy Regency romances with scandal, seduction, and sharp-tongued banter.
As a hybrid indie and traditionally published author with Dragonblade Publishing, Romance Café, and And You Press, she’s passionate about bringing emotionally raw, high-heat love stories to readers across genres.
Dahlia lives in the wilds of Northern Maine with her husband and two boys. When she’s not writing or chasing after her tiny chaos gremlins, she’s binging dark thrillers, watching horror movies, or whispering story ideas to her ever-growing list of future book obsessions.
She loves cold brew, pink everything, dirty books, horror movies, caffeine, drinking iced coffee even in negative temps, Hamilton, Jessica Rabbit, andThe Grinch.
