Enthralled Hearts
One night was all he offered. All she wanted.
Rising hockey star, Emerson Leister, is the king of hit-it-and-quit-it. Locker room, board room, or bedroom, he plays hard. Until his antics catch up with him.
The queen of vicarious love and spicy tropes, Olivia Del Sol finally breaks free of her wallflower past, with an exciting new start as a covert operative. Except her next mission has her falling into a sensual trap of a wholly different sort.
Because one night changes all the rules.
When Emerson needs a fake girlfriend to draw out a stalker, he wants Olivia. She has the training to pull it off, but there’s nothing fake about their chemistry. The sparks igniting between them are enough to resurrect pasts they both thought dead and buried.
When teasing his stalker and teasing each other draws out more than just their target, will they survive the fallout?
Or will their hearts become just two more casualties of the game?
A smutty, steamy, NSFW romance perfect for fans of Psychotic Obsession and Binding 13.

Hearts on Fire
What’s hotter than a honeymoon? An adventure laced with danger, betrayal, and thieves who play for blood.
Iris and August thought the chaos of Alandale was behind them. But happily-ever-after turns into a high-stakes mission when Interpol enlists Locksley Hall to infiltrate a ring of seductive, high-society criminals who steal with charm and kill with flair.
Thrown back into a world of secrets and temptation, Iris and August must use everything they’ve learned to outplay the glittering elite.
August swore he was ready for the field, but in a game where desire is a weapon and lies are currency, even promises have a price. And when the masks slip? The danger gets personal.
Can they survive the sting of their lives without losing each other?
Twisted, thrilling, and wickedly addictive, this smutty, high-octane romance is perfect for fans of Point Break.

Nottingham Hearts
They stole my family legacy. Now I’ll steal their hearts, one ruthless boy at a time.
Alandale Academy drips with money, secrets, and power. The boys who rule it? Beautiful. Brutal. Untouchable. The kind of monsters who ruin lives just because they can.
But I didn’t come here to play by their rules. I came to burn their kingdom down.
Vengeance is my birthright and these heirs of Alandale have no idea the girl they tried to break was forged by shadows engulfed in flames.
I will play their games. Smile through the pain and exude innocence while I seduce them. And when they fall, it will be by my arrow.
Darkly seductive and wickedly addictive, Nottingham Hearts is a smutty, slow-burn bully romance with dangerous games, tortured hearts, and a heroine ready to destroy everything for justice.
For fans of Maxton Hall and The Cruel Prince, with a very NSFW twist.
Trigger Warnings:
This book contains scenes of violence, bullying, humiliation, attempted sexual assault, PTSD flashbacks, bribery, corruption, forbidden sex (not with the main characters), sexual assault, abuse, attempted murder, assault, choking, and murder. There are discussions of human trafficking, suicides, past rape (not of FMC), underage drinking and drugs.
We’re all the villains in our story.
The MMCs are cruel, entitled, untouchable bullies. The FMC is driven, calculating, and willing to do anything for vengeance. This story contains graphic, unapologetic sex between the eighteen-year-old FMC and multiple male characters. However, it is NOT a cheating trope.
You know you love my sass.
This modern-day Robin Hood retelling is dark academy romance. It has rh vibes, dub con, brat/brat tamer, sado-masochism (agliophilia), bondage, spanking, orgasm control, sex with the risk of being caught, praise kink, phone sex, stepbrother kink, knife play, breeding kink, biting, hematolagnia (vampire kink), blood play, branding, tattooing, marking, claiming, and sex toys.

About S.M. Cato
Fantasy Roots...

...Add in the Romance...
I've loved magic and fantasy since first reading Susan Cooper's The Dark is Rising series in fourth grade. Narnia, Middle Earth, and Hogwarts are on my travel bucket list.
When I started writing, it was fantasy. Warriors, mages, dragons... all the greatest hits. Definitely not published, though. And I wrote myself into a pretty serious corner.

Several years ago, I started writing tales that twisted magic and love, then threw in a bit of spice...
Okay, in certain cases, a lot of spice.
These books I've been publishing spicy romance books since 2020 under a different pen name.

...With a Twist
Late last year, I started working on something different. Still spicy romance books, doors thrown wide open, but not a hint of magic to be found.
I kind of love how this story turned out. Thus, contemporary romance author, S.M. Cato, was born.
Oh the ideas bursting from my head like champagne after the cork blows!
(But don't worry, my alter ego is still all about the magic, and isn't going anywhere.)
