📘Book Info

PUBLISHER DESCRIPTION

From USA Today Bestselling Author K Webster comes a new dark age-gap, enemies-to-lovers MM captive romance!

He’s a mysterious recluse with an unhealthy obsession with his therapist.
He doesn’t want help... He just wants him.

Love is for those who deserve it. I certainly don’t. The person I loved most in this world died in my arms decades ago and I am to blame. I’ll forever be tormented by what-ifs where I was Mom’s hero instead of this repulsive, mask-wearing beast I’ve ultimately become.

All that’s left of my heart is black smoke—suffocating and toxic. I’m nothing but a shadow of a man, locked in my dark fortress of a home, away from people and hidden in my carefully walled-up world.

My family is all I have to live for. Somehow, they look past the fact I survived when Mom didn’t. Like it’s not my fault. It’s also why I’ll protect them with every single fiber of my being.

Even from him.
Tate Prince has been paid by my father to infiltrate our family. Invited not just into our homes, but into our past, our heartaches, and even our minds. Dad thinks this young man—a therapist with a captivating grin—is the key to repairing all the damage we’ve sustained over the years.

But I know better.
I can see through Tate’s friendly disposition and easygoing nature.
In his eyes are dark secrets that haunt him like ghosts from another life. He’s not as perfect as he seems. Underneath his mask of smiles are ugly truths I’m desperate to uncover.

And I will uncover them.
If that means keeping him under lock and key where I can watch his every move, I will.
It’s not captivity if he’s being paid, right?

However, when I start unraveling his life, I learn there’s a lot more to Tate than meets the eye. The more I discover, the more obsessed I become. My heart, the dusty, charred, still-smoking useless organ sparks to life making me come to a startling realization. I want him.

I’m not the only one who feels this way, though. Tate’s biggest secret is he already has a monster in his life. A terrible, spiteful monster—one who’ll stop at nothing to get what he wants.

But I’m uglier, nastier, and a hell of a lot more vicious. I may have failed to save my mother, but I will not fail this time.
Tate is mine.

This is a complete mm standalone novel with a happily ever after.


💭Our Thoughts

I am not even sure where to start
Yes, I dropped into this series amongst the chaos and will now need to go back and get the tea on everyone else!
This easily reads as a standalone

Let's start with the ending
Not in a million years did I see that little twist coming
Holy cow!!!! Left me speechless!

Dad acknowledges that his family is just slightly messed up
So he hires Tate
There are a whole lot of secrets here as well
To provide on-site in-home therapy
And let me just say that I love how happily messed up this whole family is
I am serious
Despite the rivalries, infighting, and other quirks
They stood together
They have each other's back

Jude and Tate
These two were like oil and vinegar until you shook them up a bit
Then they complimented each other in such fantastic ways ;)
Tate was such a sweet little thing he wanted to save the world but he also needed someone to save him
Jude was trying to make up for something he was never responsible for
But survivor guilt is a whole nother level of Hades
Turns out they only needed each other. Took a bit for them to get there though.

There is a bit of mystery. Some suspense. A lot of personal growth.
Some seriously smexy as Hade's scenes. And a few twists here and there that will catch you unawares.

Great and I do mean excentric and vivid supporting characters that will attach themselves to your heart whether you want them to or not
An engaging storyline that will keep the reader flipping pages
Each one revealing a new skeleton
