Content Notes
Diamond in the Dark
Diamond in the Dark is dark and violent and sexual. It is a reverse harem romance, which means that the heroine doesn’t have to choose between her love interests. It is a poly romance, which means that the men in the relationship love each other too, and this is reflected in the spicy scenes, group and otherwise. It is a dark romance, very dark. There is noncon, dubcon, impact play, bondage, knife and blood play, degradation, unwilling exhibitionism, public humiliation, and explicitly non-RACK BDSM. It is a mafia romance, and you can expect guns, drug trafficking, violence, torture, kidnapping, and murder.
This book takes place in a fictional world that looks a lot like ours. There’s mention of abortion and birth control because these discussions are realities for millions of women.
This book is absolutely not a model for how to conduct a safe, sane, and consensual BDSM relationship.
If any of that gives you pause, this may not be the book for you. But if all of that that sounds amazing, keep reading. I think you’ll love it.
