Livia Deigh (formerly 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 the Hearts, Spades and Other Deadly Weapons series. Hearts, Spades, and Diamonds unfold concurrently, each a decadent descent into obsession, revenge, and romance with teeth, before 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 tends her Monstera vines, watches psychological thrillers, and quietly rewrites 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. Sign up below to be the first to know when she sharpens her next blade.
