Let’s be honest: romance heroes have been turning heads for decades. Brooding billionaires. Grumpy bodyguards. Reformed bad boys with dark pasts.
But when I sat down to write the Storm Series, I knew I wanted to do something different.
I wanted my heroes to feel extraordinary—not just because of their looks, charm, or combat skills, but because of something deep, secret, and otherworldly. Let’s be real. We aren’t reading fiction for ordinary.
So I gave them psychic abilities.
Not flashy, superhero-style powers. These gifts are quieter. Intriguing. Dangerous in all the right ways. And sometimes… more of a curse than a blessing.
🧠 Power with a Price
In Storm Front, David Jones isn’t your typical tech guy. Sure, he’s a genius hacker and a founding partner of a global resort empire. But beneath the surface, he’s hiding something:
He can communicate directly with computers—reading code like a second language, sensing networks as if they were breathing.
But here’s the catch: it costs him.
Every time David uses his ability, it drains him mentally and physically. He hides this exhaustion behind sarcasm, caffeine, and a carefully guarded exterior. It’s not a party trick—it’s a burden.
Until he meets Lena.
And suddenly, the rules change.
⚡ Psychic Powers as Emotional Metaphor
In a way, David’s ability is the perfect metaphor for modern intimacy: always connected, always “on,” and yet—deeply isolated.
His mind is in constant motion, but his heart? That’s another story.
Giving him psychic gifts lets me explore what happens when someone literally can’t unplug. And when the woman he’s falling for turns out to affect his powers? That changes everything.
For Lena, it’s not about fixing him. It’s about seeing the parts of him he’s hidden from the world, and loving him anyway.
🔮 Why Paranormal Belongs in Romantic Suspense
Some readers ask me why I’d include psychic powers in a series grounded in real-world stakes like sabotage, stalking, and corporate revenge.
My answer?
Because truth isn’t always rational.
Because love—especially the deep, soul-shaking kind—feels psychic.
Because danger isn’t always a bomb or a knife. Sometimes it’s a thought you can’t escape. A signal only one person can hear.
And because adding that little extra twist gives me permission to blur the lines between suspense and the supernatural.
To write about protection that goes beyond the physical.
To let a hero feel his way through chaos—not just fight it.
✨ When Love Makes You Stronger
I didn’t give my heroes powers to make them invincible.
I gave them powers to make them vulnerable.
And I gave them heroines who challenge them, break them open, and teach them that true strength isn’t found in what they can do—but in who they let in.
