Charity Parkerson

Hey there! I'm Charity Parkerson, and I write steamy MM romance that'll make your Kindle burst into flames. (Don't worry, I'll pay for the replacement... maybe.)

I've been putting words on paper since I could hold a pen, but my journey to becoming a published author wasn't exactly a straight line. Growing up in a small Southern town, I spent most of my time daydreaming about characters who refused to follow society's rules. Those stubborn characters never quite left me alone, and thank goodness for that!

After years of writing "safe" stories that gathered dust in my drawer, I finally decided to embrace what I really wanted to write: scorching hot romance featuring complex men who don't fit into neat little boxes. My characters are rough around the edges, sometimes morally grey, and always unapologetically themselves. (Kind of like me, minus the morally grey part... most days.)

I'm known for writing intense, emotional stories that explore power dynamics, forbidden attraction, and the kind of love that burns so hot it leaves scars. My latest series kicked off with "Enslaved," where Heath wins Court in a bet (yeah, you read that right), and their story is exactly as deliciously complicated as it sounds. Then there's "Captivated," which follows Saul and Case's weekend of schemes that turns into something neither of them expected. And don't even get me started on "Pucking Insane" - because who doesn't love a hockey romance with an obsession that's been simmering for years?

When I'm not writing about beautiful men falling in love in the most complicated ways possible, I'm probably binge-watching true crime documentaries (for research, obviously), spoiling my cats rotten, or dreaming up new ways to torture my characters (lovingly, of course). Coffee is my life force, and I firmly believe that 3 AM is a perfectly reasonable time to start writing if that's when inspiration strikes.

My writing style? Think emotional depth meets kindle-melting heat, with a healthy dose of angst and enough tension to make you want to throw your e-reader across the room (please don't actually do that). I love exploring the grey areas between right and wrong, consent and control, love and obsession. My characters aren't perfect - they're messy, complicated, and sometimes make terrible decisions. But that's what makes them real, right?

To my readers: you're my people. The ones who understand that love isn't always pretty or convenient or socially acceptable. The ones who want their romance with a side of darkness and their happily-ever-afters earned through fire. I write for you, and I love hearing from you. (Seriously, slide into my DMs - I'm always up for chatting about books, characters, or why happy endings hit different when they're hard-won.)

Fair warning: if you're looking for sweet, clean romance, you might want to look elsewhere. My books come with trigger warnings for a reason. But if you like your romance raw and real, with complex characters who fight their feelings until they can't anymore, then pull up a chair. We're going to get along just fine.

What can you expect from my books? Intense emotional connections, sizzling chemistry, morally grey characters making questionable choices, and love stories that'll keep you up way past your bedtime. Oh, and steam. Lots of steam. (Did I mention the steam?)

I'm always working on something new, pushing boundaries and exploring different aspects of love and desire. Because at the end of the day, that's what I believe romance is about - finding love in unexpected places, even when (especially when) it's complicated.

So if you're ready for stories that'll make you feel everything, that'll challenge what you think about love and redemption, and that might occasionally make you clutch your pearls (or your wine glass), you're in the right place. Welcome to my world - it's a little dark, a lot sexy, and never, ever boring.
