These tags describe potentially sensitive material in the book and may not be a complete list. A missing warning does not confirm that the content is absent. HEA/HFN describes the romantic ending, not the absence of disturbing content. Check the author's current content notes before reading.
Eerie Take
A good fit if you want plenty of heat with a heroine learning to trust again. Expect an abusive ex, real danger and a romance that makes room for tenderness without losing its bite.
Book summary
Tink has spent five years rebuilding her life after escaping Peter. She has a talent for designing clothes, a sharp tongue and no intention of belonging to another dangerous man. But when her protection at the Underworld ends, Peter comes looking for her—and Jameson Hook offers a bargain she can’t easily refuse.
Marry him, and he’ll help put Peter out of her life for good. Tink knows Hook has his own reasons for wanting her close. What she doesn’t expect is how carefully he pays attention, or how hard it becomes to separate their arrangement from something real. Between the arguments, the heat and a threat that keeps getting closer, she has to decide whether trusting him means losing her freedom or finally choosing a life of her own.
Main characters
Tink (Tatiana) Petrov — 25. A clothing designer and former assistant manager at the Underworld. She’s plus-size, outspoken and stubborn, with a hard-won sense of independence. Letting people care for her is much harder than standing up to them.
Jameson Hook. A criminal territory leader who hides a great deal behind his charm. He’s a confident dominant, fiercely protective of his people and determined to make his marriage to Tink more than a deal.
What to expect
The third Wicked Villains book pairs a marriage of convenience with a Peter Pan-inspired villain romance, dual first-person narration and an HEA. Tink and Hook are the central romantic couple. There are also explicit, consensual group scenes involving other adults, including M/M and M/F sexual activity, bondage and impact play.
Content notes
Past and ongoing emotional and physical abuse by an ex-partner; childhood abuse references; stalking, coercive control and confinement; panic and trauma responses; destruction of personal belongings; abduction, physical assault, blood and injury; threatened burning and an on-page fatal shooting. A secondary character’s death and another character’s grief are also part of the story. The consensual BDSM scenes include restraints, blindfolds, impact play and orgasm control, with safewords and aftercare.
