Perfect for you if...

  • You love dark romance with genuine mystery woven through it, where the plot matters as much as the chemistry between the leads.
  • You want a hero who's obsessive and possessive without feeling like a caricature, with real vulnerability beneath the danger.
  • You're already invested in the Body Count world and want to see how this crew operates in their own story.

Maybe not for you if...

  • You prefer your romance low-heat or without graphic sexual content, because this one is explicit and unapologetic about it.
  • You need your heroes morally straightforward or your heroines passive; both characters here operate in grey areas and make questionable choices.
  • You dislike cliffhangers or serialised stories, since this is book one of a trilogy and doesn't wrap everything up.

About this book

Convict's Game is the first book in a dark romance murder mystery trilogy set in the Body Count world. When a corporate heir's grandfather dies and the family company falls into chaos, she uncovers a connection to the city's criminal underworld. Desperate for answers, she makes a deal with a man in a skeleton mask—a brutal, broken figure who claims to know her despite being a stranger. He suffers from amnesia, yet his behavior toward her suggests a deeper history. As she becomes entangled with this man, his crew, and dangerous secrets worth killing for, she must decide whether to expose everything. The story involves a corporate heiress and street king, obsessive love, rough play, a murder mystery with clues, found family dynamics, and a deadly inheritance. The series continues from where the Body Count series concluded and contains content warnings noted in the book's front matter.
