Locked

L. R. Douglas

SHORT SUMMARY

In the dark depths of Seattle’s seedy underworld, college student Caoimhe is swept off her feet by handsome stripper Lockey.
But what secrets is he keeping locked up in the depths of the night?
And is she hiding some of her own?

ONE QUOTE TO CONVINCE YOU

“You want to play a little?”
“I don’t know, do I?” I sounded worried, even to myself.
“That depends on what you think I mean by the word ‘play’,” he chuckled lightly.
“Well, as I said, I have a sort of idea of chains and whips and owchies. Although I’m kind of hoping that’s not what you mean?”
“It wasn’t really—unless that was what you wanted, of course. Honestly, you should know upfront that I’m game for pretty much anything if it involves you and me and dirty deeds."

AUTHOR NOTE(S):

Please note; if non-monogamy and/or cheating by main characters trigger you, it is possible that you will NOT enjoy some of the main character's behavior in this series. Some of the characters involved are paid sex workers, and there are instances where the main male character is with other people, both as part of his job role but also outside of that. This is not always approached in an ethical manner.
Please don't go into this book expecting a traditional monogamous relationship or touch them and expire vibes, despite it being a mafia-adjacent story.

There are instances where the MMC exhibits toxic and manipulative behaviours throughout the continued story, and certain situations may be triggering to readers as a result.
