About this book

When a girl thought she'd escape the wealthy, powerful Heirs who've made her life miserable, their king swoops in to keep her exactly where she is—trapped in a twisted dynamic she can't seem to break free from. Rogue Kelly doesn't want her anymore, but he's absolutely determined no one else will have her either, and she finds herself dangerously addicted to the push-and-pull of their cruel connection. Caught between knowing too much to leave and not enough to truly belong, she's pulled back into the dangerous world of Savannah's elite where the line between hate and desire blurs in the most compelling ways. If you're craving morally gray characters, intense power dynamics, and a heroine who's unapologetically drawn to the darkness, this delicious dark romance will absolutely wreck you.

intoxicatingdarkobsessivemagneticconflicted

Dark, intoxicating indie and alternative pop with sensual R&B undertones. Moody vocals over atmospheric production—songs about obsession, toxic attraction, and the dangerous thrill of wanting what's forbidden. Blend of soft vulnerability and hard edges, like being pulled between light and shadow.
