About

Grant Mercer only wanted to become the kind of person everyone wanted. The wish answered too well. After a strange six-sided die transforms him into Grace Han — a beautiful young Korean woman shaped by his own fantasies of desirability — Grant discovers that being wanted is not the same as being known. His old life at a suburban game store begins to fracture. His closest friend starts looking at him differently. The face in the mirror feels both impossible and intimate. And the wealthy collector who once owned the die decides Grace is too rare, too valuable, and too vulnerable to be left in ordinary hands. Everyone wants Grace to mean something. A miracle. A mistake. A fantasy. A problem to solve. A woman to protect. A life to possess. Grace has to decide who she is when everyone else has already decided what she is for. The Shape of Want is a slow-burn contemporary gender transformation romance and psychological drama about identity, desire, objectification, found family, and the difference between being wanted and being known. Status: The manuscript is complete, and chapters are planned for daily release. Reader note: This is a slower, novel-length transformation romance/psychological drama. It contains sensual content and romantic tension, but the focus is on identity, desire, found family, emotional consequences, and the complicated experience of being wanted. Contains mature themes, limited sensual sexual content, strong language, gender transformation, racialized objectification, manipulation, power imbalance, and coercive control dynamics.
