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 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 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.
