His obsession for me is deadly, and I’m falling prey to his pleasure.
There’s never been any security in my life. After being dumped on indifferent relatives as a child, it hurt when I realized that no one was ever going to protect me.
But Cullan, my boyfriend’s father, makes me feel safer than any man I’ve ever known. He’s twice my age and totally forbidden, but his protective embraces, deep voice, and inked muscles have awoken things in me that I shouldn’t want.
When darkness swallows me, it’s Cullan who pulls me into his strong arms and leads me back into the light. He gives me protection, and a job as a nanny to his very young child. But I suspect that Cullan is drenched in his own darkness. There’s a killer on the loose in the city, and I think I know the identity of the man behind the red mask.
My instincts tell me to run from Cullan as fast as I can, but my boyfriend’s father has stolen my heart with hands that are soaked in blood.
And though it should be impossible, I think I’m having his baby.
Author’s note: Soft Tissue Damage is a standalone boyfriend’s father MF romance with dark themes, a twenty-year age gap, the hero as the other man, breeding, a jealous and possessive alphahole, and a sweet but strong virgin heroine. This book features appearances of characters from Fear Me, Love Me. The story is dark, dirty and delicious, so please read at your discretion.
I never thought I would want to write a serial killer romance. True crime podcasts kept me sane throughout COVID lockdowns, and I had a morbid fascination with murder cases. Interesting. Not sexy.
However, there are a few fictional murderers who have me biting my lip and wondering, But what if I was his favorite? Killers from Hush, The Boy, Don’t Breathe, and Wrong Turn (the 2021 version, iykyk) are a few that spring to mind. The terrible, heart-poundingly violent and shocking things they do have me glued to the screen, and I don’t mind when they have a breeding subplot.
Kidding. I love the breeding subplots.
A man with darkness in his heart who is pushed to the brink, but craves his woman and wants her pregnant? That’s a story I want to explore. I played with the idea for Soft Tissue Damage for two years until I finally thought of adding a boyfriend’s dad trope into the mix, and here we are. Cullan Grant, serial killer daddy, and his sweet Elena.
Soft Tissue Damage has a twenty-year age gap, birth control tampering, forced breeding, blood, violence, obsession, manipulation, primal play, and daddy vibes. Cullan is the other man, and it’s his mission to possess Elena. This book includes appearances from Tyrant and Vivienne Mercer from Fear Me, Love Me. Tyrant and Cullan are close friends. Soft Tissue Damage is set after the events of Fear Me, Love Me, and it’s a standalone.
