Perfect for you if...

You enjoy dark romance where the power dynamic is deliberately skewed and morally grey characters operate without apology.
You're drawn to stories with obsessive tension, where a protagonist's fear and attraction are inextricably tangled together.
You want a standalone that doesn't pull punches about what it is: a psychological thriller wrapped in romance, not a traditional love story.

Maybe not for you if...

You need your romantic leads to be fundamentally good people or traditional heroes.
You're uncomfortable with stories involving coercion, manipulation, or revenge as central plot elements.
You prefer lighter romance or stories where consent is unambiguous and straightforward from the start.

About this book

Erika has long been fascinated by Michael Crist, her boyfriend's older brother. A college basketball player turned professional athlete, he is handsome and intimidating—someone she has watched from a distance for years without his knowledge. When her boyfriend leaves for the military and Erika moves to college in Michael's city, she finds herself unprotected and alone. Michael has always been aware of Erika's fear and attention. Now that she is vulnerable and within reach, he sees an opportunity. Three years earlier, Erika's actions resulted in several of his high school friends being imprisoned. With those friends now released and seeking revenge, Michael and his associates have been waiting for the right moment. As Erika enters this new chapter of her life, the nightmares she has long feared begin to materialize. Corrupt is a standalone dark romance with no cliffhanger, intended for readers 18 and older.
