“I never knew love could be so destructive.”

I’ll be the first to admit that I’m overly impulsive and a bit too reckless, but it’s hard to care about consequences after I lose my whole family.

When I get transferred in my final year of college after getting into a fight, Ashbrook seems like the fresh start I desperately need—though it feels more like a dead end when I meet my new roommate, Dakota Voss.

The dean’s son and a social pariah, he’s a miserable mystery that drives me up the wall with his rude and unpredictable ways. He’s atrociously ill-mannered, annoyingly blunt—and apparently allergic to wearing shirts. Everything about him is utterly infuriating; he’s like a human tornado, and I can’t help but get swept up in his chaos.

With a face I’ve been teased about since I was young, my entire life has revolved around hiding—until Dakota starts dragging me out of the shadows into the light. When he helps me through something, I’m forced to let down my walls so he can shine that light on all my secrets—and no matter how much it hurts to give them to him, he surprisingly keeps them safe.

But the closer we get, the worse I feel. He deserves someone who won’t lie to him—because there’s one secret of mine he can never have; an awful truth that would topple these shaky foundations we’ve managed to build.

It’s a poison I’ll gladly let destroy me before it can hurt him—because if he ever finds out, I’ll lose him…

…and the only truth that matters now is that without Dakota, I’m nothing.

Wicked Little Darling is a standalone MM romance with medium angst, two lonely violinists who can’t seem to figure out what love is (but they really try their best and get there eventually), some family drama, healing from grief and trauma, an MC that gets hot and bothered when his darling gets protective of him, and a whole lot of tension. Not intended for readers under 18.
