Stellar Admissions | A Reverse Harem Romance
When I set out to write Stellar Admissions, I wanted to do more than just create another entry in the Stellar Bonds universe. I wanted to dig into what makes a heroine strong—not just on the battlefield, but in the quiet, vulnerable moments when life knocks her flat.
I’ve always loved reverse harem romance books for the freedom they give women to choose love without limits. But for me, the heat and the relationships aren’t enough on their own. I wanted to tell a story that also explored the raw reality of grief, the damage of old wounds, and the courage it takes to let others in.
Eva Rockford: The Captain Who Cracks
Captain Eva Rockford is the beating heart of Stellar Admissions. She’s sharp, capable, and respected in her field—a woman who has fought for every ounce of authority she commands. But when I wrote her, I didn’t want her to be untouchable. I wanted her to feel real.
So when Eva learns that her estranged mother is dying, she spirals. She throws herself into her duties, but her old disordered eating habits creep back in. She tells herself she can manage it—just as she’s always managed everything else—but denial only takes her so far. Eventually, she finds herself hospitalized, forced to face the truth: sometimes being strong means admitting you can’t do it all alone.
That balance—between steel and fragility—was central to why I wrote this book. I wanted to show that strength isn’t about never breaking. It’s about what happens when you do.
Writing Ryan and Eva’s Explosive Chemistry
Eva’s Executive Officer, Ryan, quickly became one of my favorite characters to write. He’s arrogant, irritating, and completely impossible for her to ignore. Their dynamic is full of sparks—equal parts attraction and frustration—and that tension leaps off the page.
I loved writing their forced proximity, their arguments, and the way Ryan refuses to let Eva push him away. He’s the kind of man who doesn’t flinch in the face of her walls, and watching him worm his way into her guarded heart was both frustrating and satisfying—for Eva and for me as the writer.
If you enjoy enemies-to-lovers, forced proximity, and undeniable chemistry, this part of the book is for you.
Why I Chose Reverse Harem
When I write, I keep circling back to one truth: love is bigger than boxes. Eva’s story was never going to be about choosing just one partner. It was about embracing the idea that family, intimacy, and passion can come from more than one source.
That’s why I write reverse harem romance books. They give heroines like Eva the space to grow, to lean on different strengths in different partners, and to embrace every facet of their own desire. For Eva, that means learning she doesn’t have to carry her burdens alone—and that she deserves love in all its messy, consuming forms.
The Found Family Element
Of course, Stellar Admissions isn’t only about sex and relationships (though there’s plenty of that). It’s also about the crew—Eva’s found family. I wanted readers to feel the loyalty, the banter, and the moments of quiet support that make this ship more than just a workplace.
Writing those dynamics gave me as much joy as writing the steamier scenes. Found family stories remind us that even when we feel broken, we don’t have to put ourselves back together alone.
Why This Book Matters to Me
I wrote Stellar Admissions to show that strength can look like surrender. That even the most capable among us can fall apart, and that asking for help is not weakness—it’s survival.
I also wrote it to deliver unapologetic heat. This book is for people who want smut (and lots of it), but who also crave emotional resonance, complex characters, and stories that take place in the vast, exhilarating backdrop of space.
If you’re looking for:
Reverse harems and why-choose dynamics
Enemies-to-lovers fire
Forced proximity tension
Strong female characters facing real struggles
Explicit smut (and more smut)
Found family bonds
…then I think you’ll love what I’ve created here.
