I AM DARKNESS. I AM SIN. I AM YOURS. A truth imprinted onto my skin—its sharp vines digging into my flesh as our bond strengthens with each shallow intake of breath my love takes. Her life is intertwined with the devil, a man who hungers for depravity and death, and yet, I bend my knee for her. Only her. Always her. She is mine and I will kill to protect. Kill to own her. Gabriella Moore will never leave me. Not by choice or circumstance.
Severity reflects intensity, not value — “central theme” means a warning is a core part of the book, not that the book is bad.
