The Intricate Ties Production Team

A.E. LeMercier and Tyler Laux are a high-velocity indie collaboration focused on "heat with heart"—earnest M/M romance featuring protective devotion and high-heat intimacy. Their partnership centers on an "Own Voices" synergy, ensuring the healing discipline and chemistry of the Intricate Ties series translates authentically from page to ear. With their second audiobook just released, the duo is slated to have a full season of content and a short story collection available by June 2026.

A.E. LeMercier has crafted queer love stories for over two decades. A former chart-topping web-novel author on Radish, she recently transitioned to the Amazon ecosystem, leveraging communities like the First Page Club on TikTok to drive indie discoverability. Her work explores the infinite capacity of the heart, specializing in polyamorous dynamics and "green flag" power exchange where intimacy is built on profound trust and emotional healing. She believes in high-heat sessions balanced with the comfort of aftercare, always celebrating love in its most intricate flavors.

Tyler Laux has been narrating since October 2025 and finds joy in bringing queer stories to life. He loves all things love, romance, sensuality and sexuality and celebrating the work of indie writers. When not in the studio, Tyler enjoys a quiet suburban life with his husband and 4 cats.

Full first season of Intricate Ties available on Audiobook
