ONE LAST THING

This story does include smut between the main characters but the author does not write heavy explicit or graphic sexual scenes. The focus of this book is on the dark storyline, emotions and character dynamics, rather than physical or sexual content.

So if you are expecting detailed or explicit romantic scenes, this story may not match your preferences. SO, DROP. THE. BOOK.
