Blurb…
He would love her even from the grave.
Julian Danes and Vivienne Salter have been in love since they were children. However, in high society where Julian’s dangerous reputation precedes him and Vivienne’s father has other plans for her, it cannot be.
The walls of the formidable Salter Estate are high and well guarded, but it doesn’t stop the pair from their clandestine meetings, no matter the risk.
Between Julian’s neglectful father wishing he was dead and Vivienne’s parents beating her for every misstep, they need to escape. When a forced engagement disrupts their plans to run off into the sunset, it ends with blood on their hands. A kill that ignites the bloodlust in both of them.
They would die for love, but they’d rather kill everyone else instead…
Additional Information…
- STEAM LEVEL: 🌶🌶🌶
- MORAL COMPASS: these characters are ‘villains’ who act out violent, murderous behaviour and take a lot of pleasure in it. It’s very much a dark tale with a twisted moral compass (or indeed no compass at all).
- WARNINGS: Graphic violence, sex scenes, obscene language.
