Juliette Cross began her fiction career with paranormal romance, publishing the Dominion series in 2012. That series introduced the angel-and-demon mythology she would continue to develop, though her writing shifted noticeably toward lighter, more character-driven stories as the 2010s progressed. By 2020 she had found her largest audience with Stay a Spell, a New Orleans-set series following six Savoie sisters with different magical abilities who find love across seven books packed with Southern atmosphere and sharp banter.

Alongside her paranormal work, Cross has written extensively within Penny Reid’s collaborative Green Valley universe, set in a small Tennessee mountain town. Her Green Valley Heroes subseries focuses on first responders and features the same warmth and comedic timing as her witch books. She has also written dragon shifter romance in the Vale of Stars series and, more recently, moved toward traditional fantasy romance with The Rise of Northgall and The Fire That Binds, the latter published through a mainstream imprint starting in 2025.

Cross typically writes series with strong found-family dynamics and recurring secondary characters who each get their own book. Her protagonists tend to be capable women with genuine agency, and her romances lean into emotional tension and slow burns rather than shock value. Readers familiar with one of her series often work through the rest of her back catalog, as the tone and style remain consistent across genres.
