Why we recommend it

Tension runs high in this forced-proximity dark romance, where two people with their guard up are trapped close enough to feel every spark and every threat. Expect a dangerous, protective hero, a heroine who refuses to be cornered, and a slow burn that crackles with menace. Fans of intense, claustrophobic chemistry and morally grey men will be drawn into this charged second installment.
