A little about Rhys
Welcome. I'm Rhys Alderton, and I write stories about people, relationships, and the unexpected turns life can take when we least expect them.
My characters are rarely at the beginning of their lives. They bring with them memories, disappointments, private longings and, sometimes, the quiet belief that the most exciting chapters may already have been written. My stories explore what happens when life proves otherwise.
There is romance here, and sensuality, but also tenderness, humour, uncertainty and the small moments that can change everything. I'm interested in the things people don't always say aloud, the feelings they may have put aside for years, and the surprising ways two lives can become entwined.
If you enjoy mature characters, believable relationships and intimate stories in which desire is only part of the picture, I hope you'll find something here to enjoy.
