About this listen

He's the danger she never knew she craved.

Med student Blake Hyland's got it all figured out—or so she thinks. Enter Damon Axton: masked vigilante by night, obsessive stalker by day. He's dangerous, damaged, and can't stay away from Blake.

Despite her best efforts, Blake is drawn to Damon's intensity and dark charm. Between his cheesy horror movie quips and her snarky comebacks, she discovers there's more to her "creepy stalker" than meets the eye.

But as Blake gets caught up in Damon's plans, she's forced to confront uncomfortable truths about those closest to her. The line between right and wrong blurs, and Blake must choose between her safe, predictable future and Damon's dangerous world.

Can a by-the-book med student and a morally gray vigilante find their happily ever after? Or will the shadows of their pasts tear them apart?

Buckle up for a dark romance that's equal parts swoon-worthy and suspenseful. You'll laugh, you'll sweat, and you might just find yourself falling for a villain with a heart of gold. After all, it's the brightest flames that cast the darkest shadows.

I'm Not in Love (I Promise) is book one in the Vengeful Hearts series, an interconnected standalone dark romance novel featuring a feisty, driven heroine; a brooding, complex anti-hero; witty banter and sizzling chemistry; moral ambiguity and difficult choices; suspense, danger, and steamy scenes. Intended for mature listeners.

I’m Not In Love (I Promise) is dark, gritty, and completely character-driven in the best way. Damon is the definition of a morally grey, obsessive MMC—violent, single-minded, and devoted to Blake from the moment he sees her. His intensity borders on unhinged, but that’s exactly what makes this story work.

Blake is soft, anxious, stubborn, and surprisingly steady beside him. Their chemistry hits instantly, and the tension never really lets up. The danger is constant, the violence is graphic, and the romance leans heavily into obsession, possession, and trauma-tangled love.

I listened to the audiobook, and while the dual narration elevated the emotion, I really wish it had been a duet. This story would have been even stronger with both POVs overlapping in key moments.

The spice is sharp, kinky, and definitely not beginner-level. The plot leans into criminal underworld chaos, found family dynamics, and high-stakes loyalty.

It’s a violent, messy, fast-paced dark romance that blends danger with tenderness in a way that stuck with me. I enjoyed it, and I’m interested to see where the series goes next.

So in love!
