Theodore Bancroft is intelligent, despite what some may think, but he has never had the respectability that an investor needs. He needs a wife to bolster his rakish image. A perfect wife. Adelaide Kingsley is perfect. Her one imperfection - getting caught in the Haversham gardens with Theodore Bancroft - is entirely by design. Not only does it get her out of her impending engagement to the odious Lord Greeling, but it also wins her the only thing she has never known: freedom. Her marriage to Theodore is more than convenient. It is a space for her to find herself for the first time in her life. Somewhere along the way, she starts to wonder if convenience has turned into love. Then, she finds her husband in a passionate embrace with another woman. NOTE: HEA between OG couple. Trigger Warnings: Dark themes surrounding sexuality, cheating, revenge cheating, questions of sexuality during an oppressive era, some domestic violence, and scenes of BDSM/control in a sexual context, depictions of disordered eating.

Two men. One filthy promise. No safe word strong enough. Lauryn Wolfe is stuck. Jobless. Heartbroken. Still picking up the pieces after her ex shattered her self-worth and ghosted like she never mattered. When Dallas Maddox, her childhood best friend, turned rock god, invites her to join him on Saints of Ruin on tour, it feels like a lifeline. A way out. A chance to start again. She never expected the heat. Not from Dallas, whose flirtation has always walked a razor's edge. And definitely not from Kye Ashford-Dallas's brooding, pierced, and possessive boyfriend. They don't just want her friendship. They want everything. Her submission. Her surrender. Her body kneeling between them and her heart spread wide open. But not everyone wants Lauryn on this tour. Not the obsessive ex-sub who once belonged to Kye. Not the fan whose fixation blurs the line between devotion and delusion. And definitely not the voice in Lauryn's head whispering that she'll never be enough. Caught in a storm of lust, jealousy, and the kind of love that burns too hot to survive-Lauryn must decide what she's willing to risk to belong to two men who don't play fair... They don't beg. They claim. And once you're theirs... You never leave the stage the same.
