NOTE: This page may contain spoilers!
I care about you all, so I have to remind you that his is a DARK romance. These men are hot, but they are NOT heroes. That means it gets intense, messy, and a little unhinged.
I do my best to flag potential triggers and kinks to ensure a safe reading experience. If I miss something, it’s not from lack of care. It’s proof that I’m human, and don’t always get it right. Drop me a note so I can update future warnings.
