Luna Mason

Hi beautiful humans! I'm Luna Mason, and I write dark mafia romance that'll probably get me put on several government watchlists. (My browser history is... concerning, to say the least.)

Let me tell you how I stumbled into this wonderfully twisted world of writing. I was that quiet kid in the back of class, scribbling stories about brooding anti-heroes while everyone else was learning algebra. Turns out those angsty teenage notebooks were just practice for what was to come. After years of reading every dark romance I could get my hands on, I finally decided to write the story that wouldn't leave me alone – the one about a former foster kid turned ruthless mafia boss who's haunted by his past. And thus, DEVOTED was born.

Writing Luca's story was like opening Pandora's box of my deepest, darkest creative impulses. I found myself diving into the psychology of power, trauma, and the thin line between love and obsession. (My therapist is both fascinated and slightly worried.) There's something intoxicating about exploring those shadowy corners of human nature, about taking characters to their breaking point and seeing what choices they make.

My stories aren't your typical roses-and-sunshine romance. I write about the monsters – the ones who've been shaped by pain and circumstance, who've clawed their way to power and aren't afraid to get their hands dirty. But I also write about redemption, about finding light in the darkest places, and about love that burns so hot it could either heal or destroy. Sometimes both.

DEVOTED is my debut novel, and yes, I did throw myself into the deep end with a morally grey German mafia boss as my first hero. (Go big or go home, right?) The response from readers has been incredible – and slightly terrifying. I still pinch myself when I see your messages about staying up until 3 AM to finish "just one more chapter" or your theories about what's coming next.

When I'm not writing about dangerous men and the women who bring them to their knees, you can find me binge-watching true crime documentaries (research!), spoiling my rescue cat who thinks he's a mafia boss himself, and drinking way too much coffee. Like, concerning amounts of coffee. I'm probably drinking some right now.

My writing process is chaos incarnate. I plot obsessively with color-coded sticky notes all over my walls (my roommate loves it), then promptly ignore half my outline when my characters decide to do their own thing. Music is essential – my writing playlist is a weird mix of dark classical pieces and heavy metal that would make my mother question my life choices.

What can you expect from my books? Raw emotion. Complex characters who aren't easily categorized as good or bad. Steam that'll fog up your kindle. And stories that dig deep into the messy, complicated nature of love and power. I don't shy away from the darkness, but I always promise to guide you back to the light. (Eventually. Maybe. No guarantees.)

To my readers: thank you for trusting me with your precious reading time and for loving these broken characters as much as I do. Your support means everything, and I love chatting with you on Instagram and in my Facebook reader group, Mason's Mafia. (Yes, that's really what I called it. I'm a sucker for alliteration.)

For those wondering what's next – I'm currently working on my second novel, and let's just say it makes DEVOTED look like a bedtime story. The body count might be higher, but so are the stakes... and the steam level. (Don't tell my grandmother.)

Welcome to my dark little corner of the romance world. Make yourself comfortable, grab your favorite beverage (wine is highly recommended), and prepare to fall in love with the villains. I promise they're worth it.

XOXO, Luna 🖤

P.S. If any federal agents are reading this, I swear all my mafia research is purely fictional. Mostly. Probably.
