The Novels of Sloane S. Monroe

The Thrill of Becoming

My writing explores the blurred spaces between what we perform and who we are. Through the lenses of contemporary and literary romance, I explore the inner walls we build—silence, competence, invisibility—and the beautiful, terrifying clashes that bring them down.

All works are intended for mature audiences and contain adult themes.

Hunger: Anatomy of Silence

Cotton, a barista who treats seduction as a sacred rite, finds her world of control shattered by Jasmin, a graduate student who refuses to be classified. ‘Hunger’ is a journey into the ethics of silence, the performance of identity, and the terrifying process of learning to be loved.

Desire: The Physics of Touch

Claire, a graphic designer and single mother, feels alienated from her own body until she meets Adriana, a gym owner who teaches her the difference between bearing a burden and lifting it. ‘Desire’ is a story about the reclamation of self, the politics of motherhood, and the terrifying beauty of being strong.

Passion: The Alchemy of Surrender

Janet, a mother who treats competence as a defence mechanism, finds her carefully constructed fortress dismantled by Eve, a teacher who refuses to abide by the rules of emotional detachment. A story about schoolyard politics, the trauma of surveillance, and the risk of being dangerously human.

The Pulse: Featuring the Belles of Manhattan

Flora, Laura, and Maud are drowning in the digital static of Manhattan until a mysterious ‘instrument’ and an 1891 archive entry offer a system reset. ‘The Pulse’ is a story of reclaiming ownership over one’s body and history in an age of constant performance.
