Melissa Tereze

Melissa Tereze is an award-winning, Liverpool-based author of sapphic erotic romance. With thirty books published—twenty-two of those international number one bestsellers—she spends her time writing angsty romance about complex, real-life women who love women. Her heart lies within the age-gap trope, and you’ll find a wide range of unique characters and stories to sink your teeth into. Melissa’s books deal with real issues, ranging from grief, self-discovery, and starting over. Don’t let that fool you, though. With high angst comes high spice. There is a little something for everyone. In 2023, Melissa was a triple gold medal winner in the eLit awards for At First Glance (LGBT Fiction), Behind Her Eyes (Romance), and The Stepmother (Erotic Fiction). In 2024, she was a finalist for a Golden Crown Literary Society Award in the Ann Bannon and Erotica categories for her first published erotic novel, Study You
