Tam writes stories about people who refuse to be ordinary.
Writing as T. S. Lumière, Tam crafts love stories with sharp characters, simmering tension, and settings you'll never want to leave—from the sun-scorched ranches of Hawaii to the smoke and spotlight of the late 1980s alternative music scene.
Her Kīpuka Ranch series (2027) brings spicy paniolo romance to the Big Island, where rugged cowboys and the women who challenge them discover that paradise comes with its own kind of heat. The series launches with BRAND, featuring forced proximity, a guarded heroine, and enough heat to rival a Hawaiian sunset.
Her Velvet Static series (2027) explores rockstar romance set against the late '80s alternative scene. Pictures of You follows a photographer chasing fantasies and a frontman tired of being someone else's shadow—and what happens when they finally see each other for real.

She spent ten years building walls. He's back to tear them down.
Kate Holiday has everything she needs: a family who chose her and twelve thousand acres of Hawaiian ranch land she'd die to protect. The last thing she wants is Koa Kahale riding back into her life—the same man who shattered her heart when he left this island a decade ago.
Seventy-two hours. One Camden registry office. Twelve months on paper.
Felix “Fix” Grant plays drums for Velvet Static — too loud, too fast, too much, by every account but his own. He has never finished a tour without losing something important. He has never met a woman he wanted to keep. He has, until now, been very comfortable with both of...
