Livia Deigh (formally writing as Livia Day) writes stories that flirt with ruin and laugh in the face of it.

Her debut dark romantic comedy, Queen of Hearts, is a moody, velvet-trimmed plunge into lust, lies, and the lengths we go to for desire. Think sharp banter, slow burns, a little blood on the floor - and the occasional frog.

Queen of Hearts is the first in a four-book series.
Hearts, Spades, and Diamonds unfold concurrently, each a decadent descent into obsession, revenge, and romance with teeth, while Queen of Clubs delivers the final, converging blow.

She is also developing the Elemental Alchemy Trilogy, a dark romantasy weaving forbidden magic, obsession, and the dangerous transformation of desire.

When she’s not writing, Livia is tending to her Monstera vines, watching psychological thrillers, or quietly rewriting text messages three times before deleting them anyway.

She believes in:

• Messy women

• Tender vengeance

• The joy of a well-placed knife (literary or otherwise)

Livia lives in Australia, where she writes at night and edits in the early light, always with a mug of something strong and a playlist full of heartbreak.

Queen of Hearts is complete and currently seeking its publisher-shaped match.
