Emotionally intelligent love stories for women who think deeply & feel fully
I write clean, contemporary, character driven romances for educated, emotionally aware women who want stories that respect their intelligence.
These are slow burn love stories about ambition, restraint, healing, and choosing presence. They are often set against high stakes careers, beautiful cities, and real inner conflict.
If you love audiobooks, thoughtful storytelling, and characters who feel like people, you are in the right place.
Who these stories are for…
My readers are women who make decisions all day.
They are tech savvy, curious, disciplined, and reflective.
They listen to podcasts, work out, think in systems, and want stories that meet them where they are, not where the genre expects them to be.
My books are clean and closed door, but never simplistic.
They are emotionally layered, quietly swoony, and grounded in character psychology, meaningful work, and relationships that unfold with intention.
Most readers discover my stories through audiobooks and stay because the emotions linger.
About the author…
Hello, I am Mimika, pronounced Mim ee kah, like Paprika.
I am South African born and now based in the United States. Before writing fiction, I spent years working in marketing, brand strategy, and mindset coaching, helping entrepreneurs clarify direction, identity, and purpose.
That background deeply shapes how I write characters. People who are competent, complex, and quietly carrying more than they let on.
I write emotionally intelligent, clean contemporary romances for women who value depth over drama and connection over spectacle. My stories explore ambition, restraint, healing, and the courage it takes to stay present, often set in high performing professional worlds and beautiful, lived in places.
I am a lifelong student of psychology and human behavior, a former professional photographer, and someone who believes stories can change how we see ourselves and each other.
I have been married for over thirty years to my teenage sweetheart, which means I believe deeply in long lasting love, earned intimacy, and choosing each other again and again.
When I am not writing, I am listening to audiobooks, practicing spins as an adult figure skater, fencing for fitness, and dreaming about seeing my stories adapted for screen.
If you love character driven romance that feels thoughtful, grounded, and quietly powerful, welcome. I am glad you are here.
