Darkness breeds strength that blossoms in ruin.

Truie Cochonette was strong, she was capable, and she always had her best friend’s back in the underworld of le Milieu. That is, until she was taken and brought to her breaking point.

Teague Grey is a man with a very specific job, one that makes problems go away. He’s used to cleaning up messes but when he had the opportunity to play Truie’s hero, he did.

An accidental-on purpose kidnapping mixes his patience with a twist on possession and has him falling all over himself to help her heal from her trauma. He’s her strength when no one else can or will.

When the tables are turned and Teague goes missing, Truie will have to decide if she still has the strength to fight for him. And what will happen when he finds out she’s held a dangerous secret that she’s kept since he carried her out of the darkest of dungeons?

What to expect in Out of the Darkness:
Dark Romance
Mafia
Trauma Healing
Possessive MMC
Found Family

He Falls First

"A darkly delicious tale of possession...a tense, fast-paced retelling with a mafia twist that will leave you desperate for more of Enders' taut, steamy stories!" - USA Today bestseller Sierra Simone for Into the Woods
