This is a dark romance novel exploring devotion, exploitation, and survival. The journey to the happily-ever-after is agonizing, and earned.
Maren learned early that survival doesn’t look like escape: it looks like endurance. An orphan raised amidst scarcity and silence clings to the one constant in her life: her husband, Albie. For her, marriage is the ultimate proof of belonging, even when love becomes conditional and devotion is wielded as a weapon. Even when her body learns to disappear so the rest of her can survive.
When their desperate pursuit of financial and marital stability leads Maren into the world of adult content creation, the line between consent and coercion becomes indistinguishable. Each compromise is presented as temporary, each boundary as negotiable, and every violation is justified by vows she has been taught never to break.
Then she meets Thaddeus Wolfe.
He is in control where her life is in chaos. He is quiet where she has learned to obscure her true self. He is dangerous not because he takes but because he sees. With him, desire feels unfamiliar, and choice becomes terrifying. For the first time, Maren is forced to confront a truth she has denied for years: love should not require her to disappear.
But leaving isn’t simple when loyalty is instilled in your bones—and freedom threatens to unravel everything you’ve ever called family.
Weeping Iris is a story about survival, trauma, and the brutal cost of choosing yourself. It is a story of quiet resistance, shattered vows, and a woman who must decide whether endurance is enough—or whether she deserves more than merely staying alive.
