Ruled by the feared Sovereign known as Sin, the Eighth Region thrives on order, punishment, and absolute control. No enemy breaches its borders. No prisoner survives its dungeons unchanged. Until one does. When a failed border raid leaves a powerful Desire Lord in Sin's custody, the Sovereign expects a straightforward interrogation. Instead, he finds himself facing a prisoner who refuses to break, a murderer stalking his court, and secrets that threaten the foundations of everything he has built. Crave was sent into enemy territory on orders he never questioned. Captured, chained, and at the mercy of the most dangerous ruler in the realm, he should be focused on survival. Instead, he becomes entangled in a deadly investigation that places him at the center of a conspiracy neither side understands. As bodies begin to fall and old alliances fracture, Sin and Crave are forced into an uneasy partnership. Every answer uncovers a deeper lie. Every step toward the truth pulls them closer together. In a realm where power is earned through pain, trust is a weakness, and love can be as dangerous as war, neither man can afford the feelings growing between them. But someone is killing from the shadows. And the next victim may be one of them. ----- A Region of Sin is the first book in the Sinrath Saga, a dark MM fantasy romance series featuring enemies-to-lovers, captor/captive romance, forced proximity, political intrigue, murder mysteries, morally gray characters, possessive love interests, deadly magic, brutal violence, and a slow-burn romance set against an escalating continent-wide conspiracy.

Preston is a reckless submissive who doesn't play by the rules. At least that's what his one friend, Sammie describes him as. Preston plays with Doms, spits them out, and never lets them touch him more than once. The reason is simple... he doesn't want to get attached. He believes if he leaves them first, they can't leave him first. Hurt is not something he ever wants to feel again... and he's happy with the way his life is going. A good job at the local animal shelter by day, and a secret lifestyle at night. He's cool... until this Dom takes interest in him. Too much interest. Preston knows who Dom Julian Voss is. He's the one who trains subs in Eclipse. The one Preston loves watching on stage and in the open play rooms, but Preston has never played with him, and doesn't want to. Until Julian convinces him to give him one night and promises the best scene of Preston's life. Unfortunately that was true... and now Preston has to dump him faster than the plague because Preston can't get attached to him. But Julian has other plans because he's already become attached to Preston. He pursues him hard... and eventually he convinces Preston to play with him after one very explicit scene on stage with Julian and a sub he was training. But the 2nd session turns into a 3rd and then... before Preston knows it, it's been 10, and feelings are starting to develop. Which is something Preston has always ran from.

When he was eighteen, Cordae watched witches and vampires slaughter his family and the entire pack. The only person who survived the slaughter was his friend, Ardell, who became his Beta. With only him by his side, Cordae rebuilt from the ashes. He swore he would never Hope again, rebuilding his people with blood and iron over the next seventeen years. Duty has kept him alive. Duty, and rage. But when Ardell's second-chance mate is found in the wreckage of a vampire raid, Cordae's carefully forged world begins to fracture. For his Beta, forgiveness and trust comes easy when he looks into the eyes of his mate. To Ardell, the vampire means love, hope, and healing. To Cordae, it means jealousy, distrust, anger, betrayal...and danger. Then a prophecy whispers that Cordae's own mate will come "through fire and ruin." And when he finally finds him, broken and bleeding on his borders, he realizes fate has not given him a wolf, nor vampire, nor witch... but something far more dangerous. Something all of the factions fear. Something the High Council will demand he destroy. Only they don't have to... because everyone else wants to kill him too.

🚨‼️PLEASE READ‼️🚨 Due to my book getting reports, I have REMOVED all punishment scenes, hardcore scenes and sex scenes. All of those scenes will only be available on REAM under the $3 Tier. LINK IS IN MY BIO🩷 The series will continue on Wattpad as normal... just WITHOUT the scenes listed above. ----- Julian thought training Alec would be a mission... structured, contained, temporary. A way to help a broken sub find his way back from the edge without letting the past bleed into his present life with Preston. He was wrong. Alec arrives like a storm no one can predict: sharp-tongued, guarded, reckless, pushing every boundary Julian tries to set. He scoffs at rules, tests limits, vanishes for hours only to return marked and defiant. Yet beneath the attitude is a quiet desperation... a boy who learned early that love hurts, so better to hurt first and harder. Julian sees it and Preston sees it. And both of them refuse to look away. Preston, now fully collared and deeply surrendered, finds himself unexpectedly drawn into the orbit of Alec's chaos. Alec is not an easy book to read. His pages are torn, ink smeared, words crossed out and rewritten in anger. Most people would close him and walk away. Not Julian and Preston. They turn the pages together because they both know that if you have the patience to push through the fear and the rage and the self-sabotage... what waits at the end is a story worth cherishing. This is a story of three hearts learning... messily, painfully, beautifully... how to hold each other without breaking.

And they're not done playing. Enemies. Lovers. Liars. And one final move that could destroy them both.
