Why we recommend it

A dark asylum setting raises the stakes in this menacing bully romance. Expect cruel, dangerous men, a claustrophobic backdrop of confinement, and the unsettling pull between captor and captive. Readers who crave the heaviest end of dark romance, morally wrecked antiheroes, and the suffocating tension of a heroine trapped among predators will find an intense, edge-of-control story that revels in its darkness.
