About

Baltimore entrepreneur and debut author L.D. Carter releases "Becoming Syn," a dark romance thriller launching Halloween 2025. The novel follows Devyn McTavish, a trafficking survivor who reinvents herself as "Syn" in Portland's underground scene, where she becomes entangled with four dangerous men from the Wraiths MC: psychopathic president Cole, protective security expert Aiden, tech genius Beckett, and enigmatic assassin Sebastian.
After years as a business consultant and MBA holder, Carter brings her strategic expertise to indie publishing with an innovative launch campaign featuring VR experiences, social media challenges, and immersive digital content. Drawing from her Baltimore roots, she crafts morally complex narratives exploring trauma, power, and redemption in the fast-growing dark romance and reverse harem genres.
"Becoming Syn" is a mature (18+) romance thriller about reclaiming agency after trauma—where salvation and damnation often come from the same hands.
