The same night I’m meant to end it all, I find a golden-haired angel passed out in the snow.
I’m just supposed to bring him home and nurse him back to health. To save him. To take care of him. But then I get greedy. I want him to stay. After all, he’s the only thing standing between me and my ruin.
Asher
The start of the new year is going down the drain along with my sanity, and that’s even before I wake up in some weirdo’s basement.
He keeps me under lock and key, claiming it’s for my own good—that if he lets me go, I’ll spiral back into the dark hole he pulled me out of.
I should want to run. To escape as soon as I have the chance. But as the days pass and the lines blur, everything turns on its head, and I’m no longer sure who’s the captive and who’s the captor—who’s in control, and who’s desperate to submit.
Creatures Like Us is a standalone dark MM romance that contains hot, explicit scenes between two men, as well as subject matter some readers might find upsetting. See the Author’s Note for more info.
