About the book
In the monster's eyes, I saw the reflection of my own dark desires.
I’ve always chased thrills—dark, risky, and dangerous—because it's the only way I feel alive after enduring a childhood filled with trauma and pain. My scars run deep, hidden behind a façade of innocence.

Gage awakens something primal in me. He's my darkest fantasy, and together, we explore the boundaries of our desires. Beneath his rough exterior, I glimpse a vulnerability and pain that mirrors my own. We've both been broken, haunted by our pasts, but perhaps in each other, we can find healing and redemption.
Will our love be enough to tame the monsters within us, or will our demons consume us both?

About the book
Halloween. My eighteenth birthday. The night my world shattered and reformed into something beautifully grotesque.
I was supposed to be celebrating, lost in a whirlwind of candy and costumes. Instead, I found myself trapped in a nightmare—bound and blindfolded, at the mercy of a masked stranger.
His touch ignited every dark fantasy I’d buried, but instead of fear, I craved more. Every moment blurred the line between pain and pleasure, terror and desire. And then, the mask fell—the revelation that turned my blood cold.
It was Jared. My stepbrother.
In that instant, the twisted game we played became our reality. What started as captivity grew into something far more sinister. We’re bound by obsession, tethered by the secrets that chain us together. Now, we’re fugitives, running from a world that will never understand the darkness we share.
Our love is a haunting symphony of taboo and terror, where boundaries aren’t just crossed—they’re obliterated.
Are you brave enough to peer behind the mask and witness the depths of our depravity?
Forbidden Harvest is a dark taboo romance set at Halloween with heavy subjects that some readers may find triggering. A full list of the warnings will be found on my website. This story has no cliffhanger and ends with a HEA.
