𝐀𝐮𝐭𝐡𝐨𝐫'𝐬 𝐍𝐨𝐭𝐞!

Hey everyone,
Hope everyone is doing well,

If you're one of my constant readers, you might recall that in my Instagram story (@ivaaverse), I made an ANNOUNCEMENT about a friend convincing me to write a book, and this book is it.

Though I never thought I'd be writing a book on these leads, because whether in or out, they are connected to the second book (CRIMSON VOWS) of my ongoing series, THE LONGING HEART SERIES.

So basically, both books can be read as standalones. However, as I mentioned, I was discussing the plots and twists of CV with a friend when she suggested me to write about these particular characters separately because "they are so fine," so again, this book can also be called as a sequel of CV.

Although this book is the one that will be coming first. So to my CV readers who are patiently waiting for the book to start, I'll say that until that one book arrives, you can enjoy this one. ( You might end up knowing about the reason why Vanya 's father despise her )

Moving forward, onto the trigger warnings:

First and foremost, this book falls under the tag of DARK ROMANCE, so if you're not a dark romance reader, kindly stop right there.

I'll wait. . . . . . .

Now, to those who are still choosing to continue, make sure you read the whole thing.

This book contains very dark, triggering situations, particularly a four-letter word that starts with R and ends with E. These scenes can be detailed and involve the leads (it is not romanticized), so please proceed with caution.

—Make sure that you don't judge this book by just reading just one or two chapters—

There is also graphic violence, sexual assault, forced proximity, explicit sexual situations, and mentions of suicide two or three times. So if these topics are triggering for you, kindly stop.

To our readers, please be aware that we aren't responsible for your mental health—it's in your own hands.

In fact, we know these warnings might not appeal to some, and most of you aren't even 18+, so that's okay, I guess? But I simply would not feel right if I did not make these triggers very clear.

The last thing we would ever want to do is put a reader through any type of trauma, whether it's new or relived. And to be frank, it's pretty fucked up subject matter.

So if you do not want to be spoiled and read further, then stop here. (Bad mai maat khena warnings nahi mile the)

Please do take these warnings seriously. Your mental health matters.

So, my dear reader, if you still choose to go further, it is at your own risk.

Even after this, if you all are agreeing to read further, I promise not to disappoint you.

Hope you will enjoy reading this book as much as I've enjoyed writing it.

Thank you<3
