Trigger Warnings

The reasons for writing dark themes are as many and varied as our readers. But we also understand that not everyone enjoys reading these darker themes, and in some cases, they can be triggering. Please read the trigger warnings before diving into any book. If you have questions, feel free to email me.

Trigger Warnings

Nottingham Hearts

Nottingham Hearts

Nottingham Hearts

This book contains scenes of violence, bullying, humiliation, attempted sexual assault, PTSD flashbacks, bribery, corruption, forbidden sex (not with the main characters), sexual assault, abuse, attempted murder, assault, choking, and murder. There are discussions of human trafficking, suicides, past rape (not of FMC), underage drinking and drugs.


We’re all the villains in our story.


The MMCs are cruel, entitled, untouchable bullies. The FMC is driven, calculating, and willing to do anything for vengeance. This story contains graphic, unapologetic sex between the eighteen-year-old FMC and multiple male characters. However, it is NOT a cheating trope.


You know you love my sass.


This modern-day Robin Hood inspired story is dark academy romance. It has rh vibes, dub con, brat/brat tamer, sado-masochism (agliophilia), bondage, spanking, orgasm control, sex with the risk of being caught, praise kink, phone sex, stepbrother kink, knife play, breeding kink, biting, hematolagnia (vampire kink), blood play, branding, tattooing, marking, claiming, and sex toys.

Enthralled Hearts

Nottingham Hearts

Enthralled Hearts

This book contains a stalker, multiple females fangirling over the MMC, jealousy, and mean girl behavior. There are references to past bullying and abuse, physical, sexual, and emotional trauma, some of which leads to dissociation. A PTSD-related episode causes a physical altercation between the MMC and FMC. Talk of past statutory rape, sexual assault, monetized pedophilia, and attempted human trafficking appear in a few chapters. Murder, attempted murder, poisoning, assault, strangulation, property damage, breaking and entering, unsolicited video and photos, harassment through letters and gifts, violence, and general mayhem run rampant through these pages.


There is a one-night stand cut short when they get caught, an inexperienced FMC with a love of smutty romance books, and experienced, arrogant, jaded MMC with a small innocence kink who's never heard the word "no". He's possessive, protective, and dominant, and she's curious, eager, scattered, and a bit of a brat. Heavy PDA, talk of prolific past sexual encounters, dub con, and forced orgasm over an unconscious criminal all happen. Liberal use of the hand necklace and choking occur. Mild humiliation during dirty talk, praise kink, erotic punishment, spanking, use of sex toys, anal play, DP with a toy, bondage, somnophilia, wax and ice play, biting, creative use of a calligraphy pen-and-ink set, unapproved use of a hockey stick, mirrors, sex in semi-public, dirty talk, blindfolds, breeding, biting, marking, claiming, and mild dacryphilia abound.

If any of this could be triggering, please don't read further.


*Stalking is in no way a joke, and this book is not meant to trivialize the dangers posed to victims of stalkers. If you feel you might have a stalker, please, seek police help.
