Vivienne Cross rules the academy romance genre, crafting addictive tales of supernatural schools, elite institutions, and the intense bonds forged when young people with extraordinary abilities are thrown together. A former boarding school teacher who witnessed firsthand the pressure-cooker dynamics of elite education, Vivienne channels those experiences into stories where magic academies, vampire prep schools, and secret society universities become crucibles for romance, rivalry, and self-discovery.
Her protagonists are often outsiders thrust into worlds they don't understand—scholarship students at schools for the wealthy, late-blooming supernaturals discovering their powers, or transfers hiding dangerous secrets. They must navigate cliques of powerful legacy students, mysterious professors with hidden agendas, and the particular intensity of falling in love when you're also fighting for survival, status, or your very identity. Vivienne excels at the bully-to-lover dynamic, transforming cruel tormentors into complex love interests whose antagonism masks attraction they can't accept.
Known for her addictive chapter hooks, ensemble casts readers become obsessed with, and the perfect balance of romance, mystery, and supernatural worldbuilding, Vivienne creates series that readers devour in single sittings. Her academic settings are richly detailed—from forbidden library sections to midnight training sessions, from formal balls to underground fight clubs. She explores themes of belonging, power hierarchies, and the transformation that happens when young people find their tribe.
She still has dreams about being late to class, even though she hasn't taught in years.
