Welcome to the Helena von Heilig Author Page!

The good girl who writes unforgivably naughty books.

Meet Helena von Heilig

Helena von Heilig has always been the good girl. The one who smiles politely, orders a chai latte in quiet European cafés, and keeps her laptop screen angled away from the couple at the next table.

Because what's on that screen would make them choke on their croissants.

She writes dark romance because the page is the one place she lets herself explore every version of herself she's too well-behaved to be in real life—and every version she's afraid she already is. Her best and worst flaws live inside her characters. She won't tell you which ones.

Follow Helena for new releases, travel updates from whatever old city she's writing in this month, and books that feel like a secret you're keeping from everyone you know.

The Vasin Trilogy

COLLATERAL

Elara Voss has spent years cleaning up her father's messes. She didn't expect the latest one to deliver her masked, contractually bound, and completely uninformed to a man who operates in shadows. She also didn't expect to land an internship at Seattle's most powerful real estate firm the same week. Her new boss is precise, unreadable, and pays too much attention to her work. The masked man at the estate is precise, unreadable, and pays too much attention to everything else. The reader will figure it out before she does. When Elara finally learns she's been falling for the same man twice, the question isn't whether it was real. It's whether anything built on that kind of deception deserves to survive.

UNMASKED

Elara knows who Nikolai is now, both versions of him. She came back anyway, and what they're building together is closer to honest than anything either of them has had before. Then Cassian Vale walks into a room where all three of them are standing, and the ground shifts. Cassian is smart, strategic, and genuinely dangerous, not because he wants to destroy Nikolai, but because he's right about most things and complicated by what he feels about Elara. When she discovers an anomaly buried in shareholder data that connects all three of them, she stops being the woman caught between two powerful men and becomes the one neither of them saw coming.

SOVEREIGN

Four months of something that looks like a life. Elara and Nikolai have built a version of together that works, until a name from his father's generation surfaces with a patient, methodical claim on everything Nikolai controls. Dominic Rael doesn't want the company. He wants the underground empire, and he has no feelings about who gets dismantled in the process. This time, Elara isn't reacting to someone else's moves. She finds the crack in Rael's strategy herself, operates in both of Nikolai's worlds on her own terms, and forces the question the entire series has been building toward: not whether they'll survive the threat, but what they're willing to become once it's over.
