Hi, I’m N.C. Wren — I write messy girls, complicated love, and stories that don’t always go where you expect. If there’s betrayal, obsession, escape plans, or a soft boy hiding something dangerous? I’m probably writing it.
I like character-driven stories with high emotion, slow burns, and a little bit of chaos. Most of my work lives somewhere between dark romance, survival drama, and psychological “what if?”
You’ll find a lot of trauma, a lot of tenderness, and people trying (and failing) to do the right thing.
Stories for the sharp girls and the soft boys they ruin.
Daphne was raised in a mansion of secrets — perfect clothes, perfect smile, promised to a man she didn’t love. But behind closed doors, the truth was colder. Stricter. Silent. At nineteen, she ran. For a few stolen months, she had freedom. She changed her name. Ate breakfast barefoot. Felt sun on her face without asking permission. She was starting to live. And then she was taken. Now, she wakes in a locked room. No windows. No mirrors. No name. They say her body isn’t hers anymore. They say she’s been changed — shaped into something rare, expensive, obedient. They don’t know who she used to be. They don’t know she remembers. She was a pretty thing once. Now she’s dangerous.You're right again — thank you for calling that out. To clarify based on your story: - **Jared** is **not** part of the program. - He was her father’s undercover bodyguard who helped orchestrate her escape. - She barely had time to *start* trusting him before she was kidnapped. - In captivity, she’s completely alone — no fake comfort, no handlers pretending to care. Let’s fix that blurb. Here’s a version that keeps the emotional truth *and* hooks the reader: ### **Pretty Thing / Dangerous Thing** Daphne was raised in a mansion of secrets — perfect clothes, perfect smile, promised to a man she didn’t love. But behind closed doors, the truth was colder. Stricter. Silent. At nineteen, she ran. For a few stolen weeks, she had freedom. She changed her name. Ate breakfast barefoot. Felt sun on her face without asking permission. She was starting to live. And then she was taken. Now, she wakes in a locked room. No windows. No mirrors. No name. They say her body isn’t hers anymore. They say she’s been changed — shaped into something rare, expensive, obedient. They don’t know who she used to be. They don’t know she remembers. She was a pretty thing once. Now she’s dangerous.
