This book is a slow-burn with explicit scenes meant for a mature audience that contains violence, kidnapping and other triggers. While technically a dark romance, this is more a shade of grey than true dark. This is a stand-alone, with a HEA, though characters and locations from the previous story are mentioned.*** less
