Trigger Warnings
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
Read after Private Property and Strict Confidence for Jane and Beau’s hard-won resolution. The family tenderness comes with harsh sexual dynamics, abuse history, and threatening suspense.
