Diamonds & Straitjackets

I broke into a private psychiatric institution to save my brother’s best friend. But my plans are thwarted when I’m captured by the very monsters I should fear.

My heart has always belonged to Maverick Sutherfield. I’ll risk everything to save him.

But, the asylum has hardened him—the sweet boy I knew is gone, replaced by a cold, brutal man who loathes me. The only people he despises more are his two tormentors.

Rowan Underhill—cruel, arrogant, and too handsome for his own good, let alone mine.

Braum Milligan—an enigma wrapped in a striking package, who both terrifies and excites me.

They want to see Maverick fall. And now, they have the perfect leverage—me.

As their prisoner, I should be terrified. Instead, I’m thriving in their darkness. Their hands, their mouths, the way they ruin me—I crave it as much as I still yearn for the boy I came to save. But in a place where pleasure and pain blur, where secrets fester and power corrupts, nothing is as it seems.

I only came here for one man. But leaving means keeping them all or losing everything. Including our lives.
