Synopsis

A dark romance fairy tale reimagining of the infamous Cinderella. It's been a year since my faithful follower left me a letter. A year since he promised me freedom. A year since my husband's death. And a year since I started this new. Do I regret becoming a Harlot in a town where a serial killer targets them? No. I don't regret many things in my life. Do I regret not reporting my stalker-I mean faithful follower-to the police? That answer changed the day I found a letter on my doorstep telling me that my time to grieve my dead husband was over. He says the game has begun, and I'm not sure I have a choice but to play. Sinister Desire is a dark romance and the first of the interconnected standalone novella series Cruel Kingdoms, where the villains get to tell their stories.

Is Sinister Desire appropriate for my child?
