Defying Sanity

Patience is a virtue, so he’s told. But to Vin, patience just means waiting longer. Why wait when he knows he’s going to get it anyway? And besides, an early Christmas gift to himself wouldn’t hurt.

Kyler never expected to wake up with someone else in his bed. After all, he went to sleep alone. When the torment starts, he fights a battle against the man who’s taking what Kyler didn’t want to give.

At least, that’s what he tells himself because who really wants to be tied up and used?

Defying Sanity is a consensual non-consent fantasy with a little blood play and bondage.

Stronger Together: The Complete Collection – Paperback Only

When life brings him to his knees, all Jacob needs is Ward… even if it means stepping into the shadows.

Down on his luck and desperate for something—anything—to change, Jacob takes a risk far outside his comfort zone. One reckless decision leads him to Ward, a man who is as intoxicating as he is dangerous. What begins as a single night of debauchery quickly becomes something far more consuming. Jacob can’t walk away… and, deep down, he doesn’t want to.

Ward offers more than pleasure—he offers purpose. A world Jacob has only ever glimpsed through the pages of true crime: one of secrets, darkness, and a brutal, unflinching sense of justice. It should terrify him. Instead, it awakens something buried deep within.

Two years later, Jacob is no longer the man he once was. At Ward’s side, he has become a partner in the darkness, navigating a morally grey world where right and wrong blur, and justice is taken, not given. No longer the fall guy, Jacob is Ward’s—bound to him in ways neither of them fully understands.

Their connection is raw, unconventional, and forged in secrets. Together, they are stronger, even as the shadows close in.

This is a dark MM romance about power, transformation, and finding love in the most unexpected—and dangerous—places.
