Follow me into a deep, dark well of pain and love, corruption, deceit, and murder.<\/p>\n
There are no monsters here but flawed and tragic humans\u2014no werecreatures, vampires, dragons. There is no magic here but dark love and aching desire\u2014no witches, mages, demons. There is no alternate universe here but an imaginary county in a very real city operating under its own rules.<\/p>\n
There are no delicate flowers here but beautiful, mature, brilliant women who hold their own with grace and panache. There are no alpha male billionaires\u2014 Oh, wait. Yes, there are. My bad. They\u2019re bad, too. Dominating, one might say. If one were saying.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\nFollow me into a world you may hate or you may love.<\/p>\n
Hopefully both.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
