You'll love Kay Freeman's The Devil You Know if you like brooding heroes, a gothic atmosphere, and steamy chemistry. Play with fire tonight!Cover art & design: Consuelo Parra Perez. Age 18+ Content. This book is not for everyone. This Gothic Suspense Romance Novella contains power exchange dynamics. The hero is morally gray and not a warm-and-fuzzy character. He also practices Wicca. Both the hero and heroine are survivors of physical abuse.
He's a victim of child abuse, and she is a domestic violence survivor. The hero's mother suffered from drug addiction, and his father used his religious fervor as a weapon. Her mother committed suicide. The book also contains graphic descriptions of sexual activities. If you find any of this objectionable or triggering, stay clear. However, the book is healing and hopeful, and it ends with a positive, loving relationship.
