About H.D. Carlton
H.D. Carlton is an internationally acclaimed author renowned for her dark romance novels that delve into the complexities of human relationships and the shadows of the human psyche. Residing in Oregon with her husband, two dogs, and a cat, she crafts stories that challenge conventional romantic narratives, inviting readers into worlds where moral boundaries are blurred and the line between love and obsession is perilously thin.
Carlton's writing career took a significant leap with the 'Cat and Mouse Duet'—'Haunting Adeline' and 'Hunting Adeline'—which became a BookTok sensation and solidified her status as a daring voice in the genre. These novels, noted for their psychological tension and gothic atmosphere, explore themes of obsession, power, and trauma, compelling readers to confront the darker facets of desire.

Her narratives are characterized by morally complex characters and emotionally charged storytelling, often blending elements of romance, thriller, and psychological drama to create immersive and suspenseful experiences.
