Dante
My moral compass is broken. That’s why I need rules. They keep me from killing people I shouldn’t. They keep me from crossing certain lines. I’m possessive. Obsessive. Deviant. And I like to fight.

That’s what I see in Tristan when I spot him working in the swanky nightclub. His cool detachment is a mask. He’s angry, he’s lost, and he’s totally new to what he’s feeling.

I want to feel that anger. I want it to burn me. I want him to fight me—then I want to feel him submit. He won’t have any choice, not in my play room. He would look perfect there on the black sheets…with red blooming across his creamy skin.

Tristan
Okay, so I’m not as straight as I thought. I can deal with that, but I don’t know if I can deal with him. I could tell Dante was dangerous even before I saw him talking to a mobster connected to my brother’s death. I mean, Dante cornered me and bit me. I don’t even know him! He’s a thousand red flags. And yet…my body has never responded to anyone like it responds to him. That’s why I sit down with him one night after work.

Is this real? Are we actually about to discuss a sex contract? It looks so normal at first. He can’t hit me in the face. He can’t maim me. Why do we need rules for this?

“I don’t think you’re understanding this,” Dante tells me in his dark, sexy voice. “These are hard limits. Everything else—everything else—is fair game.”

He won’t tell me what that means. Half the fun, he says, is finding out.

Tristan finally has a lead on his missing foster brother. Despite the danger, he takes a server job at a high-end night club, which caters to a variety of extreme tastes, so he can get closer to the very dangerous Lorenzo Capelli. As luck would have it, Tristan catches the eye of an equally dangerous associate of Capelli’s, Dante Adesso, who offers Tristan a lucrative sexual contract. Tristan has always considered himself straight but he’s willing to blur the lines if it helps find his missing brother. What he doesn’t count on is just how twisted and damaged Dante is and, even more baffling, Tristan is also blindsided by the enjoyment and feelings he develops for him.

You’d think the premise of this dark romance was just an excuse for a wild exploration of extreme kinks, and there is a long laundry list of trigger warnings that accompany this, but actually there is a strong romantic theme that develops and the premise ends up justifying all the crazy that occurs. Whether you find that premise convincing or not, it is an utterly riveting story. Rina is a new author to me and I enjoyed her character development, the dialogue, and her wild imagination—I’ll definitely seek out more of this series. 🎧 Devon Ryder (as Tristan) and Joe Arden (as Dante) were both excellent audio performers!

Dark, kinky and absolutely wild romance!
