Love is his cage. Obsession swallowed the key.Levi Mercer escaped one nightmare only to wake up in another. The sanitarium was supposed to be the end-freedom from Virtual Vice's twisted game, but dying over and over again is no longer the worst part of being trapped in a digital hellscape. The worst part is watching his former killer pretend they're not trapped at all. To Asher, every nightmare scenario is home as long as they're together. Every death is just another day in paradise. The outside world? A fever dream. Freedom? A myth. Reality? Whatever keeps Levi by his side. But paradise has rules, and Asher enforces them with increasing brutality. No escape attempts. No talk of the "real world." No questioning their perfect digital love story. Break the rules, and Asher will hurt anyone-including Levi-as a reminder that some cages are built to protect what's inside from what's outside. Each scenario brings new horrors, but the real monster isn't the alien creature hunting them on a spaceship or the shadows in the fog of a mountain retreat. It's the man who loves Levi so much he'd rather break him than lose him. The games are getting harder. The stakes are getting higher. And Levi needs to convince the man who learned to love him in hell that paradise isn't worth staying damned.

These men killed mine, and for that, they have to die Bristlebrook is up in smoke, my brutes are dead, and Sam's camp is a powder keg begging for a flame. Injured and furious over their losses, the surviving hunters are preoccupied with their own problems. Their factions and allegiances. Their internal wars and pissing contests. The new world they want to forge. They don't look twice at their meek little captive. They shattered my heart five ways when they killed my brutes, so I don't care anymore. If I'm to stop the villains, I need to become one. I need to be smart. I need to be ruthless. Even if it means razing myself to the ground to do it . . . We're bringing her home, or we're not coming home They took our librarian from right under our noses-and with Lucky injured, Bristlebrook in flames, and our personal problems finally spilling over, we're fracturing. But we need to be better. Bringing Eden home is the most important mission of our lives. Followed closely by the second most important . . . building her a home worth returning to. *** The Brutes of Bristlebrook is a dark(ish) post-apocalyptic, steamy romance trilogy, and Eden will end up with three or more love interests after I've appropriately obliterated my readers' nerves. Expect complex characters, 1st person present tense, multiple POVs, MM in the harem, angst, lots of laughs, and to encounter material that some readers may find sensitive. This book is a big boy at over 180k words and deals with a lot of heavy content. I promise it gets brighter as it goes on (you know... mostly). Please see my website for TWs - your mental health matters. Entangled is book 2 of 3 in the series. Book 3 will be out ASAP in 2024.
