Hi! I’m Cyan Skye.

Profile picture: An organic circle shape frames the image of a woman (author Cyan Skye) wearing a black-and-white striped shirt and a pink dress, sitting cross-legged where she types on her laptop.

Welcome to my chatic little corner of the interwebs!

I live with my husband and cat among the misty pines of the Pacific Northwest, where growly shifters prowl beneath the trees and our cozy rainy days are perfect for writing. ☕

I write romance across the spice spectrum—from sweet and swoony to hot and spicy. My stories span contemporary romance, paranormal romance, and romantasy worlds, with characters as layered and wild as the forests that surround me. Whether light and flirty or dark and dangerous, my characters always love deeply—even if they growl a little. (Especially in my wolf shifter romance series like Shadowglen.)

When I’m not writing, you can probably find me gardening, baking, or crafting something cute and cozy.

You probably know me best from my Shadowglen: Witches & Wolves paranormal romance series, as well as my Shattered Veil fantasy romance series: Stolen Bride of the Fae King, and the prequel about Oren & Mari, In Love with my Assassin. And now my contemporary romance Kingsburg College Series, with Babysitting the Bad Boy of Kingsburg College (available on Inkitt).

  • Bad boy MMCs with hearts of gold! 💛 (*Swoon*)

Fun tropes and features I love

  • Protective hero/MMC
  • Only one bed 🛌
  • Only one hotel room/room left at the inn 😲 (lolol and obviously it’s the Honeymoon Suite, right!??? 😂😏)
  • Forced proximity
  • Found family
  • Scarred hero/tortured hero with a tragic past (Oh, hi Oren. Whacha doin’?)
  • Who did this to you!?
  • Fake relationship (and now you must kiss, obvs. 😂😘)
  • Fake marriage
  • Stolen bride
  • Enemies to lovers (I especially love enemies of circumstance, like when they’re from enemy nations or different class ranks in a structure that pits them at odds)
  • Forbidden love
  • Friends to lovers–especially long-lost childhood friends to lovers, like when they’ve been separated fifteen years and still haven’t forgotten each other (*cough* Kace & Jackie from Shadowglen *cough*)
  • Friends to enemies to lovers
  • Damsel in distress / rescue scenes (I like to be saved in my fantasies, thank you very much haha—in my romances, you can generally rest easy because “the hot guy will always save you” is pretty much my rule. I mean, heck, I’ve even got a story titled Saved by Your Hot Book Boyfriend 😂)
  • Second chance romance
  • Secret identity
  • Masked hero (I can’t help it 😆😆😆 I love it so much! I’m looking at you, Razrael. And you too, Oren!)
  • They met as kids
  • Favors returned: This features in a lot of my stories, including Stolen Bride of the Fae King and Heart of Midwinter and A Storm to Remember. It’s all about characters doing something kind for another person without expecting anything in return, and later (often years and years later lol), getting paid back ten-fold. It’s an idea I fell in love with as a kid, and I love that I can make this magic come true over and over again in my books and stories!

What You Might Find in My Stories

  • Swearing: Different people have different definitions of what counts as a swear, and some of my stories have different levels of this, depending on the genre, character voice, and other factors.
  • Steam, spice, heat, etc.: Some of my stories are completely clean and sweet with just tension or #justkisses, while others have a bit of steam, and still others are very spicy. ( I like sweet and spicy–often at once! I love the emotional impact of a good steamy scene!) ⬅ Side note: If you’re also looking for this, I highly recommend reading Saved by Your Hot Book Boyfriend.

If you need more information about the content of my specific stories/books: I am building a trigger/content warnings page that I’ll be updating as I have time.

P.S. if you’re a mood reader like me, then stay tuned as I work on developing a tropes/mood reading hub to categorize all the stories I write for easy finding!

My Journey

I started writing stories as a young child, and fell in love with books and reading during my library’s summer reading program each year. As a teen, I craved romance and magic, and finally found what I was looking for in the paranormal romance genre. Still–I struggled to find romance stories that fit what I wanted. I wanted stories with more happy endings, no love triangles, and plenty of romantic tension between the characters.

Those are all things you’ll find in my books and stories!

I’m honored to be here, sharing my stories with you. Making a living as an author is a dream come true. Thank you for your support!
