The couple has its own HEA at the end of the book, although the storyline of the Dark Luxuries Trilogy continues in book three. This book can be read as a standalone. It is NOT a cheating romance.Warning:This book includes death, manipulation, harsh language, steam, violence, suicidal thoughts, and morally grey characters. If you’re not sure those things are for you, I’d recommend steering clear of this book (and my other books as well). less
