Alaska
I lie to one of the city’s most ruthless men.
And it feels so good.
Deception is a drug, and I’m quickly becoming an addict.
Each time we speak, Zuko has no idea it’s me.
The lie tastes sweet leaving my mouth.
I couldn’t stop now, even if I wanted to—which I don’t.
He thinks our conversations are more than just sex. He’s wrong.
The intimacy he feels is all a facade.
Until the day an embodiment of my darkest fantasies walks into my bar, and his unmistakable voice sends a shiver down my spine.
It turns out I’m not the one in control.
But when he calls tonight, and he will, I’ll be ready…
… with a lie.

Zuko
My job is to hunt. Dispose of problems like they never existed. And I’m incredibly good at my job.
It’s brutal and violent. But, then again, so I am.
I crave destruction. Death is merely a consequence of my dark pursuits.
And I won’t lose a wink of sleep over it, either.
Nothing bothers me.
No one affects me.
Except the vixen with the lilac hair.
When I reveal my true self to her, she laughs it off, enticed by the game we play.
She’s keeping secrets.
And I know all about prying information out of people.
She won’t like my methods.
But I’ll keep playing her little game until I decide what to do about her.
I can’t tell if she is destined to be my wife…
… or my next victim.

Blurb:

Leave humanity at the door.

Only godless heathens survive here.

 

— Saint —

Chryseum Reformatory Academy aka the Asylum.

This is where the rich send their f*cked-up sons and daughters, delivering them to a prison in the Catskills of New York.

The Asylum doesn’t cure. It camouflages, protecting old money from apples rotting on the family tree.

They call me a psychopath, a lunatic, unhinged.

But here, I am God.

Now, say your prayers at the door, pet, because this is my senior year, my school, my world.

Even God doesn’t step foot here.

 

— Willow —

I didn’t want to kill myself, not really.

I wanted help.

I wanted someone—anyone—to listen.

But I’m just a flesh-and-bone cry for attention.

Now, my father’s shipped me here, where evil and old secrets seep through the cold, stone walls.

An inky-haired guy with a devilish smile offers me protection, but his price is high.

Wear his collar.

Be his pet.

Give myself to him, body and soul.

 

**Author’s Note: Bloody Savage God is a 400+ page, dark academia gothic romance recommended for those 18+. It features mature themes including, but not limited to, an incendiary heat level, bullying, branding, collaring, and, like my other novels, struggles with mental illness.

Please read the content/trigger warnings carefully before reading, available either through the Look-Inside feature or on my website. **

Brutal Never Boys, #2

By Mona Black

A Dark RH Romance Peter Pan retelling

Hosted by DS Book Promotions

 



 

 



 

Amazon | Apple | Kobo | Nook 

 

 

 



 

 



 

After escaping Neverland and its mad lords, who in their right mind would ever wish to go back?

My memories from the island torment me. I am worried about Peter, Jas, and the other Lost Boys, no matter how badly I want to deny it. Coming back to my own world hasn’t given me the relief I’d expected.

I miss them.

I miss what we did together.

I miss being with these men who understand me, understand what I need and give it to me, no questions asked, no regrets, no shame.

Leaving them, I was aware I might be signing their death warrant, but I was selfish. I thought I was happy in the human world.

But the truth is, I don’t think I am. The only place I’ve ever felt safe and content and right in my own skin was with them, on the island. In Neverland.

So when Peter Pan appears below my window, I jump at the chance to go back.

Call me crazy.

I must be.

Will things be like before? Will I be able to help them? Will I face my fears? What about my feelings for them?

And their feelings for me?

Series: City of Sin Trilogy
Author: Delaney Foster
Genre: Dark Romance

 
 
 

 
fate
/fāt/
what is meant to be, will be.
a cord that can not be unraveled.
 
Makenna Taylor and Reid Landry are high school sweethearts. He was her first. Her only. They had life all planned out. Right down to the white picket fence and 2.5 kids. Then Reid joined the Marines, and from that day forward, life as Makenna knew it would never be the same.
 
She thought she was a simple girl with a part time job waiting tables while she worked her way through college. She thought she had the fairytale. She thought Callisto Suppato was just another man.
 
She was wrong.
 
Soon, she would learn that every family has secrets. Every stranger has a dark side. And love isn’t just a simple four-letter word. The curtain is pulled back, and Makenna’s world begins to unravel, thread by thread, to reveal something darker. Something she’d only heard about in the whispers of her grandmother’s living room. A world many know about but simply refuse to see.
 
This is not an MFM story. It is not a love triangle and there is NO CHEATING. This is the story of three people’s lives intertwined in the threads of fate and the timeless question that always remains unanswered: What if?
 
Author’s note: While the trilogy itself is darker, this book is more in the gray. Check content warning. The trilogy does end with an HEA but this book does not. You were warned.
 
 
He’s not the Prince Charming in my fairytale.

He’s the big, bad wolf.
Fierce.
Brutal.
Seductive, like the snake in the garden.
His secrets will destroy me.
If I don’t destroy myself first.

* * * * *

The angel wants to know what it’s like to dance with the devil, and I’m about to show her the way.
I don’t deserve her.
But I crave her.
I’ll devour her.
I’ll fight for her.
I’ll own her.
And when my enemies come after her, I’ll protect her.
Even if it’s the last thing I ever do.

*Where Souls Collide is book two in a trilogy. It is not a standalone. All books should be read in order.*

 


I am death.
She is life.


I am war.
She is peace.


I am disaster.
She is beauty.


She is my salvation.
I am her destruction.


Where Demons Hide is book three in the City of Sin trilogy. This is not a standalone. All books should be read in order.
*Check content warning.

Delaney Foster is a Louisiana native, not far from New Orleans, where eating, drinking, and dancing are pretty much a requirement for citizenship. She loves all things romance, a good mimosa, and Saturdays at the baseball park. She believes leggings are definitely pants and that there’s a little bit of magic in every pumpkin spice latte. In her heart, Mr. Darcy will always be the ultimate book boyfriend. And in her books, you will find sexy morally gray antiheroes and the strong women who love them.

Title: Protector: Rage
Series: Protector Book 1
Author: Nora Ash
Release: May 2, 2023
Genre: Dark Omegaverse
Cover design: Coverluv
Narrators (videos): Jason Clarke & Stella Hunter
I want her dead, but for a woman like her there is a far worse fate:
She may hate me.
She will still be mine.
 
I awoke in hell. I don’t know who I was before, or where I came from. If I ever knew anything but darkness and pain.
What I am now is a machine. A weapon, whose every breath is controlled by the technology fused with my very DNA.
Bound in eternal servitude.
 
She did this.
Doctor Adelaide Thompson made me into the perfect soldier. A protector, incapable of doing her harm. But all I fantasize about is my hands around her throat. Her soft, pink lips gasping for air, and the drum of her pulse under my palms.
I hate her.
I want her.
And I am the only one who can save her life.
 
She won’t like the price…
 
Triggers: Torture, abuse, slavery, dubcon, off-page sexual assault (not by the hero), rape aftermath. (ends on a cliffhanger)

I am Nora Ash, and I write a plethora of different romance books. Some are paranormal, some are contemporary, most of them are dark and all of them pack the heat. Basically, I have a rampant imagination and no way of controlling it, except from just writing down whichever idea pops into my head at the time.
The one thing my books always have in common, though? A possessive hero and a guaranteed HEA. Have a look at my book page and meet your next Book Boyfriend!
I’m originally from the cold North (AKA Scandinavia) but these days I live in rainy England with my amazing fiancé and our two pesty cats. When I’m not writing, I’m probably reading, watching Real Housewives of Wherever (reality tv it’s my shameful addiction) or hiking in whatever bit of woodland I can find.
THREE FUN FACTS ABOUT ME:
I once ran away with a traveling circus
I’m a decent rider (English style only, though)
I’m bilingual. Almost-kinda trilingual, but my Spanish is terri-bad these days.

Hate is said to be disturbingly similar to love.
When it comes to him, I’m cursed to harbor both.
 
Judas Barron.
 
Wicked blue blood and heir to a severely twisted cutthroat society. Everyone knew who he was and what crew he ran with—a clandestine group of filthy rich kids surrounded by ominous secrets. Secrets that were rumored to be dark, dirty, and stained with blood.
 
It was never my intention to get tangled up with them, but Judas and I had a secret too, one he was determined to make sure I took with me to my grave, which meant keeping me by his side.
 
Now forced to be part of a savage coterie, I start to see his world through a new pair of eyes. It isn’t long before temptation becomes something dangerous and wild, breeding the sickest kind of infatuation. And those secrets Judas keeps?
 
They’re about to tear my life apart.
 
This omnibus contains the complete Reign & Ruin trilogy as well as some additional exclusive bonus content.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
With a penchant for (writing) villainous immoral men, and a tendency to deviate away from traditional happily ever afters, Natalie Bennett is an international bestselling author of twisted and unconventional love stories.
 
When she’s not slaying words she’s somewhere in the sunshine state, happily taking life one curve-ball at a time.
