They say to keep your friends close but your enemies closer; What if they're one and the same? The stable foundation I thought I'd built in the Sanctuary has been ripped away, and I find myself on the front lines of the war against the Resistance. I might have my Bonds on my side, but there are darker schemes in motion. Can I prove myself and turn the tide to protect our most vulnerable, or am I nothing more than the monster they've always claimed I am? Will we make it out of this without tragic consequences? *Forced Bonds is a full length reverse harem PNR novel with material that may be difficult for some readers. This book will end on a cliffhanger. It's recommended for 18+ due to language and sexual situations.

Multigenre fiction spanning dark contemporary romance, paranormal romance, and epic fantasy has found widespread popularity through dark urban fantasy sequences like The Bonds That Tie. Australian author J. Bree builds immersive fictional worlds driven by high-stakes conflicts, suspenseful twists, reverse harem dynamics, and complex romantic relationships across speculative and contemporary crime settings.
By combining fast-paced plotting with intense emotional stakes, her work offers readers character-focused stories that range from high-school mafia syndicates to magical Fae realms. Her multi-book sagas, including the six-novel arc beginning with Broken Bonds, explore high-tension group dynamics and personal survival.
J. Bree established her international writing career while operating from a small rural farm along the coast of Western Australia. Balancing her daily schedule between writing, managing farm life, and raising her family alongside her partner, she developed a broad bibliography that spans several distinct fictional universes and subgenres. Her publishing history includes dark contemporary romance, urban fantasy reverse harem narratives, and epic fantasy sagas featuring Fae and witches.
Her expanded literary settings demonstrate her versatility across different subgenres and character arrangements. Within her catalog, the World of Mounts Bay setting houses several interconnected dark contemporary romance series, including the four-book reverse harem mafia narrative Hannaford Prep Series, the dark romance The Butcher of the Bay Duet, and the three-book Queen Crow Series. Beyond her contemporary crime narratives, she launched The Mortal Fates, an epic fantasy series centered on M/F enemies-to-lovers dynamics between Fae and witch factions.
Bree's narrative style is characterized by fast-paced, plot-driven storytelling that emphasizes suspense, unexpected plot turns, and heightened emotional tension.

Her characters are routinely forced into situations requiring high-stakes personal survival while navigating complicated loyalties and hidden pasts.
Worldbuilding serves as another core pillar of her writing, whether constructed through contemporary urban environments or traditional high-fantasy magic systems. In her urban fantasy work, she weaves urban magic, bonded connections, and dark secrets into modern settings, whereas her epic fantasy writing focuses on world-building involving distinct magical species like Fae and witches. Across all genres, her stories maintain a consistent focus on resilient protagonists confronting formidable adversaries and secretive factions.
