Diary of a Damsel Dame

Lilah looks like your typical creative soul. She's sweet, stylish, and slightly unhinged in an endearing way. But behind the demure smiles and lolita dresses lies something far darker, the heart of a serial killer who’s been holding her urges at bay for years. Until she meets him.

August Reyes. Soft eyes. Gentle voice. The kind of man you want to protect.

For the first time in her life, Lilah feels peace. She imagines a future filled with quiet mornings, a shared record player, maybe even children. But when she discovers the truth about August’s cruel boss, his manipulative ex, and his overbearing mother, Lilah’s love boils into obsession. If the world wants to hurt him, she’ll stop it the only way she knows how—with vengeance.

A debut you’ll laugh, cry, and flinch your way through, this book is darkly funny, emotionally disturbing, and hauntingly introspective. Diary of a Damsel Dame is a chilling exploration of obsession, morality, and the illusion of control.
