She’s a girl imprisoned in a tower. But the man who finds her is no prince. If a good man discovered a nineteen-year-old woman in a tower, imprisoned there, lied to by her captor, cut off from the realities of the modern world, a good man would rescue her. I’m not a good man. I can’t help myself. I’m too enticed by this untouched, innocent girl, this girl who’s never seen a man before, never seen any part of a man. I have too many ideas of things I’d like to do to her, things I’d like to teach her, ways I’d like to exploit her natural curiosity. So, I continue to deceive her, and I keep her there, my captive plaything. I don’t even think about taking her out of that tower. Not until I realize she’s pregnant with my child. Verge notes: This contemporary dark romance takes its cues from Rapunzel (with a little Jane Eyre homage nestled into the middle). It’s for mature readers. Discretion is advised. How dark, you ask? Dark enough to make you squirm, but with at least a vestige of redemption.

Four ruthless men. One hunted woman. No escape. I ran to this island to escape the monster hunting me. Instead, I ran straight into four more. The Brixtons rule this island with blood and fear. Lethal. Possessive. Untouchable. And when I witness one of their brutal crimes, they don’t kill me. They decide I belong to them. Now I’m their captive—caught between execution and something far more dangerous: desire. They don’t trust me. They don’t need me. But when they learn the man chasing me will stop at nothing to see me dead, their cold control turns into obsession. No one touches what belongs to them. They want my submission. My loyalty. My body, my soul—my darkness. What they don’t know is that I’ve been fighting demons my whole life. I’m not the fragile girl they think I am. They may be kings of this island—but I can sin just as beautifully as they do. Enemies-to-lovers with a twisted captor dynamic Brutal, possessive, morally grey men who will kill for her A fierce FMC who refuses to break Forced proximity, escalating danger, and tension that burns A tropical island soaked in blood, betrayal, and sin The question isn’t whether I’ll survive them. It’s whether they’ll survive me. Read with caution—this dark why choose romance is not for the faint of heart. Sea of Sinners is Book 1 in the Blood and Sand Series .

He takes pawns. As the head of New York’s most powerful crime family, Luc rules through blood, loyalty, and fear. His empire thrives on obedience—and weakness is unforgivable. So when his father’s death exposes a blood oath binding him to Mia Bonino, daughter of a disgraced mafia don, Luc sees only opportunity. Marrying her isn’t personal. It’s business. Raised in a convent and sheltered from the world’s cruelties, Mia has lived quietly—until a letter shatters her peace. Now, a man known for his ruthlessness has come to claim her, whether she wants him or not. Luc offers her protection. But only if she obeys. Yet Mia isn’t as breakable as she appears. Her quiet defiance ignites something dangerous inside him—something Luc has spent his whole life burying.

In a world where loyalty demands blood and love is the most dangerous gamble of all...

VITO In this world, love is weakness. And weakness gets you killed. So when I agree to an arranged marriage with Caterina Gallo—the spoiled, sharp-tongued daughter of a rival family—it’s not for love. It’s for leverage. Power. Control. I need her bloodline to unite the families under my rule, and I’ll do whatever it takes to make her bend. But the woman they deliver to my doorstep isn’t docile or desperate. She’s fire. Fury. Temptation wrapped in silk. And every time she fights me… I want her more. RINA I never wanted to be a mafia wife. Especially not to him—Vito Rosso, the cold-blooded don who murdered my father and now claims me as his prize. But refusing him isn’t an option. Surviving him might not be either. He says the marriage is business. That I’ll learn to obey. But I’m not some pawn in his game—I’m the wildcard. And if I have to burn his empire to the ground to get my freedom, so be it. Unless I let myself fall for the enemy first.
