Dirty Dark Desire: A Dark Erotic Standalone

About this book

Ethan is a former soldier haunted by Iraq, by fire, and by a girl he cannot stop watching. Annalise is a lonely woman in London, curled up with another romance film and wondering why love always seems to pass her by. Between them lies a line that should never be crossed, and a therapist who is running out of patience. Dirty Dark Desire is a dark erotic standalone told in alternating, first-person points of view. Ethan's nightmares, guilt and compulsions pull him through rainy London nights toward the one person he has promised to stay away from. Annalise, unaware of how closely she is being watched, longs for something real, something that will make her feel alive. Expect obsessive attraction, morally grey choices, a brooding and damaged hero, and a slow-burning tension that blurs the line between love and fixation. With 55 short chapters and around 81,000 words, the story moves fast and keeps you turning pages late into the night. This book contains explicit adult content, stalking themes and psychological trauma, and is intended for mature readers only. If you enjoy dark romance with an edgy British setting and an intense, troubled love story, this standalone is made for you.
