Modern dark romance featuring a blue haired computer hacking/security expert heroine who's been left deeply scarred by an abusive mother

[Isla]

It's been written in the last few years I think, a stand alone title, not a series romance. Very dark. The heroine's mother was a drug addict who basically sold her kid. Hero hires heroine to work in his tech firm beefing up security. Anyone recognise?

This sounds similar to Warcross by Marie Lu?

It's not Warcross, but I'm adding that to my read list, so thank you for the tip!

It was an amazing read! The heroine had the childhood from hell. She was pimped out by her own mother and filmed by her, and known online as 'Sleeping Beauty.' She's grown into a bona fide hard nut ball-breaking love em and leave em man-eater. She'll only have sex on top and if they don't touch her. She runs through men like water. The first time she meets the hero, she gives him a black eye. There's a nice suspense sub-plot involving a stalker too. And her hair is blue. Like bright blue.

Can't believe I don't remember the title or the author's name! Ashamed of myself.

I'll say this, though, the vibe is a lot like Systematic Siege by N. Isabelle Blanco, which is another dark and twisted wild ride and highly recommended!

I’ll definitely look that up as well!!
