Fiction for women who want something real — desire, consequence, and the truth no one else will say out loud.

A note before you go further
Some books are safe.These aren't.
Dominic Steele writes the version of intimacy that women think about in quiet moments — honest, layered, and impossible to put down. Not fantasy. The real thing, on the page, exactly as it feels.

Confessions
Before everything unraveled
"Before the fire. Before the damage. Before she knew she was already in it."
The prequel to Toxic. This is who these characters were before the decisions that couldn't be undone — the quiet moments before it all changed. Read this first. Or last. Either way, it stays with you.

Toxic
Tales of lust & passion
"The things people do when they want something badly enough — and know better."
Where the Dominic Steele world begins. Unfiltered, bold, and written for women who are tired of fiction that doesn't match how desire actually works. Read it once. Think about it for weeks.
The Author
"I don't write fantasies. I write the version of real life that people are too afraid to say out loud."
— Dominic Steele
Washington D.C.–based. Two books in the world. More coming. Dominic Steele writes fiction that understands what women actually want to read — not what they're supposed to want. The heat is real. The truth underneath it is realer.

The Author
DominicSteele.
Some writers tell you what happened. Dominic Steele writes what it felt like — the weight of a decision before it's made, and the silence after.
His fiction lives in the space between want and consequence. The heat isn't the point. The truth underneath it is.
Every character Dominic writes carries something they haven't said out loud. Every scene exists because it had to — not because it was easy to write, but because leaving it out would have been a lie. He writes for women who know the difference between fiction that performs intimacy and fiction that actually understands it.
"The most honest thing a person can do is admit what they actually want. My characters do that — usually at exactly the wrong moment."
Dominic Steele is a Washington D.C.–based author with two titles available now: Confessions and Toxic. More is in progress. He writes slowly, on purpose — because the work that lasts was never rushed.

The Work
Two books.One world.
Read them in any order — but Confessions hits differently once you've been through Toxic. Either way, you'll want both.

Confessions
"Before the fire. Before the damage. Before she knew she was already in it."
Before Toxic, before the heat, before any of it — there were confessions. This is the story of who these characters were before the decisions that couldn't be taken back. The quiet before. The last moment of before. If Toxic is the consequence, Confessions is the moment someone stopped caring about consequences.
