About Lucy

Lucy Wilder writes both fantasy romance and contemporary romance, crafting stories where emotions run deep, connections burn slow or spark fast, and characters grow into the people they’re meant to be. Her books blend heart, heat, and a touch of wonder—whether that wonder comes from magic or from the complicated beauty of real life.

When she’s not writing, Lucy can usually be found wrangling her two kids, tending to her ambitious backyard garden, experimenting in the kitchen, or hiking around Northern California. She believes stories should feel immersive, emotionally rich, and a little bit addictive.

Books

I write romantic stories across two beloved genres—fantasy romance threaded with danger, magic, and forbidden longing, and contemporary romance grounded in heartfelt small-town connections.

Fantasy Romance

Secrets of the Forgotten Heir: Spies, Half-Bloods, and Forbidden Romance

Don’t trust the shadows. Don’t trust your magic. Don’t trust him.

Lyra Nightshade, a half-blood outcast, has spent her life dodging danger in the shadowed city of Eldoria. Her only anchor is the amulet her mother died to protect—a relic the Umbran Conclave will stop at nothing to claim.

To survive, she forms an uneasy alliance with Eirian Thornvale, a stoic elven guardian bound by duty and prejudice. His blade is sharp, his gaze sharper—but something behind his guarded exterior cuts deeper than she expects.

As the Shadow Eclipse threatens to plunge their world into eternal night, magic awakens, tension ignites, and the line between ally and enemy blurs. Every truth they uncover brings Lyra closer to risking her heart—and her kingdom.

Thalia Arquen has spent her life hiding what she is. Darian Vael has built his career hunting people like her. When a deadly attack forces them into an uneasy alliance, they must confront each other’s secrets long before they face the dangers stalking them.

They shouldn’t trust each other.
They definitely shouldn’t want each other.
But together, they are a spark in a world drenched in lies.

And if Thalia unlocks the power she’s been running from?
The fragile truths holding their kingdom together may finally burn—and they could be the ones to strike the match.

Contemporary Romance

The Homecoming Play — Contemporary Romance (WIP)

A small-town second-chance romance about love, legacy, and the fields that built them.

When Elena returns home for a corporate revitalization project, she never expects to be partnered with Dan—the boy she once loved, the man she pushed away so he could chase his dreams. Now, they’re tasked with rebuilding the town’s aging sports complex… and trying not to fall back into old feelings.

Their chemistry is undeniable. Their history is complicated. Their second chance might be everything.
