Hunter Thorn is on the run, living daily in fear of discovery and retaliation from the mafia leaders he once betrayed.

The Emperor has turned his back on the people, more interested in lining his pockets than waging war against the Brumal mafia... moreHunter Thorn is on the run, living daily in fear of discovery and retaliation from the mafia leaders he once betrayed. Sanctum is a planet practically cut off from the rest of the galaxy, where ruthless people who can control the elements rule. The Emperor has turned his back on the people, more interested in lining his pockets than waging war against the Brumal mafia. Hunter once worked for the Snow family, but a threat against his sister forced him to choose a side, and in the end, he chose wrong. He's been paying for that choice ever since, constantly moving, traveling across the planet in an attempt to hide. But everyone knows there's no such thing as escape from a regular Brumal member if they want you, let alone from one of the Three. Odin Snow, the Dominus of the Snow family, had everything taken from him ten years ago. He's clawed his way ruthlessly back to the top, reclaiming his family name and their rightful place amongst the Brumal. Mostly. There's still his step-brother to deal with, Isa Frost, the orchestrator of everything unfortunate that has ever happened to Odin. And then there's Hunter. As teens, Odin had looked up to the older boy, had even maybe cared for him, but all that'd got him was a bullet to the shoulder and months' worth of bedrest while Isa stripped away his title and family home. Now that he's found Hunter again, Odin isn't above using old feelings to get what he wants. The plan is to use Hunter to get under Isa's skin. Odin wants them hurting the same way he hurt. He wants to see them bleed. At least, that's what he always believed. But what happens when it turns out what he really wants is Hunter in his bed, at his mercy in a different way? On a planet ruled by criminals, does Hunter have a hope of escape, or will he be consumed by the very flames Odin Snow is famous for controlling? less

Hunter Thorn's secret is out. After years of running from his past and himself, Hunter has finally been caught. Forced to acknowledge the hidden wants and desires he's always carried, his only choice now is to make a deal with the devil. But putting his trust in the leader of a mafia family comes with its own risks, and Hunter can't be sure if giving in will help him claw his way back to some semblance of freedom, or shove him deeper into hell. Odin Snow isn't letting Hunter go... moreHunter Thorn's secret is out. After years of running from his past and himself, Hunter has finally been caught. Forced to acknowledge the hidden wants and desires he's always carried, his only choice now is to make a deal with the devil. But putting his trust in the leader of a mafia family comes with its own risks, and Hunter can't be sure if giving in will help him claw his way back to some semblance of freedom, or shove him deeper into hell. Odin Snow isn't letting Hunter go. From the moment he first saw the man again, broken and bleeding, that'd already been decided. Though he hasn't given up on his plans for revenge, he's shifted his animosity to who it really belongs to, Isa Frost. With Hunter's help, Odin knows he can finally beat Isa and avenge both of their families, but he must first convince his Huntsman to take his side. He'd not above using any means to do so, even if he has to resort to manipulations and more nefarious tactics. Hunter has spent the past ten years trying to escape the Brumal mafia, but now in order to get what he wants, he may have to willingly dive headfirst into the inferno that is Odin Snow. Trigger Warning: This is a dark romance with themes some readers may not be comfortable with. This includes, but is not limited to, torture, dubious consent, depictions of violence, explicit sexual content not suitable for younger readers, and captivity/forced proximity. Odin Snow is no hero. If any of this isn't to your taste, please do not read this book. I have other books that may be more suitable to you that aren't of the Dark variety. There is also a short story included which the same trigger warnings apply to. Please be aware and read with caution. Thank you. less

He may have told himself he did it to survive, but there's no denying the chemistry between him and Odin, even if they're still on uneven ground. When someone from his past returns, everything he thought he knew is thrown to the wind, and he's forced to finally come to grips with his feelings and make a decision. Odin Snow captured the Huntsman and made him his. But when Hunter goes missing, all of Odin's carefully laid plans are dashed. Was their time together truly long enough to bind Hunter to him, or was his Huntsman merely biding his time to escape? Trust doesn't come easily for the head of a Brumal mafia family, but in the end, Odin only has two choices. Trust Hunter and keep him. Or let those old suspicions bloom and lose him forever. *Trigger Warnings: This is the third and final installment in the A Whisper in the Dark trilogy, a Dark MM Sci-Fi Mafia Romance, which features a super possessive mafia leader and the man from his past he's always wanted. There are dark themes in this book that aren't suitable for all readers, including but not limited to, dubcon, torture, drugs, violence, and explicit sexual scenes. HEA guaranteed. less
