This book ends on a cliffhanger. The contents are very dark with triggering situations, such as non/dub con between the main characters, graphic violence, human trafficking, stalking, child trafficking, child sacrifice, mentions of child death, and explicit sexual situations. There are also particular kinks such as gun play, somnophilia, bondage, and degradation. This book was previously taken down due to the warning, but you can also find them in reviews, on my website, or feel free to message me directly. Your mental health matters.

I had already cut off one of his ears, along with ripping off ten of his fingernails, severed both Achilles heels, a couple of stab wounds in specific locations that won’t allow the fucker to bleed out too quickly, and too many broken bones to count.

All I want to do is break her. Shatter her into pieces. And then arrange those pieces to fit against my own. I don’t care if they don’t fit—I’ll fucking make them. And I know I’m about to do something bad. I know that I’m going to cross lines I can never come back from, but there’s not an ounce of me that gives a fuck. Because I’m obsessed.  I’m addicted. And I will gladly cross every single line if it means making this girl mine. If it means forcing her to be mine.

What he doesn’t know is that the minute I properly introduce myself to Adeline Reilly, she won’t be able to think of anyone else. I will devour her from the inside out until every intake of breath will only stoke the inferno I’ve created inside her. Like oxygen feeding a fire, I will consume every inch of her sweet little body until she will think of nothing else but how to get me deeper inside of her.

She’ll fear me at first, but that fear will only ignite her. And I will be all too fucking happy to deliver the pain when she gets too close to the flame.
