Razor
Power didn’t make me softer.
It made me dangerous.
More territory. More money. More eyes waiting for me to fail. I learnt fast that survival meant control—emotional distance, locked doors, no attachments.
Then Tristan Hale-Fitzroy came back.
Rich. Beautiful. Irresistible. Still looking at me as if I was something he wanted, not something he should fear. I knew exactly what he’d cost me last time. I wanted him anyway.
This wasn’t a fling anymore.
It was obsession.
We crossed lines I couldn’t uncross—dirty nights blurring into need, desire cutting deeper every time I touched him. I broke my own rules for him.
And in my world, weaknesses don’t go unnoticed.
Tristan
I rebuilt myself on ambition and restraint.
Pupillage. Prestige. A future I’d fought to earn.
Razor Slade was meant to be a mistake I’d survived.
A dangerous man I’d left behind.
But some loves don’t fade. They wait.
He was darker now. More powerful. More possessive. Everything I shouldn’t want, yet the only thing making me feel alive. I told myself I could handle it this time. That I could keep my heart separate from the fire.
I was wrong.
Because desire isn’t safe.
And loving a man like Razor doesn’t just consume you—it corrupts you.
This wasn’t a second chance.
It was a surrender.
Corrupt is book 2 in the Pretty Poison Trilogy—a dark MM romance packed with obsession, forbidden desire, second-chance heat, power imbalance, rich / poor tension, morally grey men, and dangerous devotion.
