Content Warning: This gothic suspense romance contains power exchange dynamics and light BDSM activities, and thus will not be for everyone. Both the hero and heroine are survivors of physical abuse. He's a victim of child abuse, and she's a domestic violence survivor. The hero's mother suffered from drug addiction, and his father's a psychopath. If you find any of this objectionable or triggering, stay clear. However, with all this said, the book is also healing and hopeful, and ends with a positive, loving relationship.
