Author bio
Erika Wilde is the pen name of romance author Janelle Denison, and it is the name she uses when she leans into her spicier, kinkier side of storytelling. Under both names she has written more than fifty contemporary romances and reached the USA Today bestseller list, building a loyal audience that likes their love stories heartfelt and unapologetically sexy.
As Janelle Denison she spent years writing sexy category romances for traditional publishers, learning how to balance heat with genuine emotion. Eventually her plots kept drifting toward more explicit fantasies and power exchanges, so she created the Erika Wilde identity to signal that these books would push further while still delivering the emotional core readers expect.
One of her defining projects in that lane is The Marriage Diaries, an ongoing series that follows longtime spouses Jillian and Dean Noble as they rediscover each other once their kids are grown. The diaries start with a simple desire to spice up a twenty-year marriage and quickly open into a candid exploration of dominance, submission, and what it means to keep choosing your partner over and over again.
The same blend of erotic fantasy and real feelings runs through The Players Club books, where an invitation-only club becomes the backdrop for stories about consent, trust, and letting go of old fears. Each novel focuses on a different couple, from wary heroine Raina Beck and ex-military security specialist Logan Cruz to club owner Brent "Mac" MacMillan and the designer who upends his carefully controlled life.
Outside the club, Wilde writes high-stakes romantic suspense in her Vegas Heat novels, where ex-military operatives and casino staff solve crimes around the Onyx Casino, and mafia-centered drama in Made for the Mafia, which follows the Russo brothers as they wrestle with loyalty, love, and the bloody business they were born into. Her Tall, Dark and Sexy trilogy centers on the Stone brothers and their friends in contemporary city settings, while The Sinful Series and The Indecent Series remix fairy tales and protector fantasies into modern, erotic page-turners.
She also loves collaboration. With fellow romance author Carly Phillips, Wilde co-writes several interconnected contemporary series, including the Book Boyfriends novels, the Dare Crossover books, the Sterling Family Crossover line, and the standalone The Boyfriend Experience. These stories share a universe of powerful families, bachelor auctions, fake relationships, and fiercely capable heroines who insist on getting their own happy endings.
Across all those series, certain themes keep returning. Wilde writes a lot about second chances, whether it is a married couple renegotiating their desires, a mafia enforcer learning to be vulnerable with the woman he blackmailed into marriage, or an ex-con trying to live straight while falling for exactly the person he should stay away from. Her characters talk openly about fantasies, shame, and consent, and the explicit scenes are always tied to emotional growth rather than shock value alone.
When she is not in the middle of a fictional power struggle, Wilde is a self-described homebody. She lives in Oregon with her husband and their two daughters, and she often mentions how much she enjoys exploring the mountains, forests, and small towns of the Pacific Northwest in between deadlines.
She stays close to readers through newsletters and social media, sharing works in progress, cover reveals, and the occasional glimpse of real life that proves she is just as much a romance fan as the people picking up her books.
Whether you start with a voyeuristic trip to The Players Club, a married-couple diary, or a co-written small-town romance, you can expect the same mix of heat, heart, and characters who fight hard for their happily ever afters.
