Wake Me With a Wicked Kiss

As a serial entrepreneur with a passion for spicy books, NJ Colle is now an indie fantasy and dark romance author whose debut novel, Scars of the Fawn, was nominated in three categories at the 2026 BookTok Indie Author Awards: Dark Romance, Contemporary, and Binge-Worthy.

The dark romantic thriller Scars of the Fawn, is the first novel in the spicy contemporary romance duology, Beyond Her Scars.

Other books on the horizon for NJ Colle will delve into the spicy romantic fantasy genre, with another series coming soon.

As a self-proclaimed 'word-nerd', NJ Colle has always had a love for the written word, escaping into fictional worlds that come alive on paper and ink. Composing her own works was an easy transition, writing what she loves and creating characters she craved from her experiences as a reader. When a friend suggested she give writing her own novel a try, NJ Colle jumped in head first and hasn't looked back since, only adding to her rapidly expanding list of future novel ideas.

When not writing, NJ Colle enjoys reading, spending quality time with her family and cuddling with her puppy, who fancies herself her co-author.
