Spine to spine beneath the same blanket. Heart to heart beneath the same bruise.
Daphne Kara and Thayor Gavros were never meant to survive each other. He was the boy who climbed through her window when he was six years old. The monster who shared her bed, her hunger, and every ugly thing the world left behind. Now he is one of the most dangerous men in the Seattle Underworld, and Daphne is trying to build a life beyond it as a midwifery student determined to bring life into a world that only ever taught them how to survive.
But leaving the Underworld was always easier than leaving Thay.
Their bond is messy, obsessive, and impossible to define. Not lovers. Not friends. Something darker. Something built from trauma, loyalty, violence, and the kind of intimacy that keeps you forever.
Dark Violent Things is a standalone, contemporary gothic romance that does not promise a clean HEA. It is a story about trauma, devotion, found family, and what it truly means to love someone with all your heart.
