"He doesn't want to make her hurt. He wants to make everything hurt."

Kill Switch by Penelope Douglas
(Softback — Devil's Night Series, Book 3 of 4 — Standalone)

The darkest entry in the series — where the nightmare holds all the keys, and there is nowhere left to run.

Sending Damon to prison was the worst thing Winter could have done. It didn't matter that he committed the crime or that she wished him dead. She thought he'd cool off. Become anything but the horror he was. Or that, at the very least, she'd have time to disappear before he got out. She was wrong. Three years came and went too fast. And prison only gave him time to plan.

Winter anticipated his vengeance. She didn't anticipate this. Damon won't have to break into her home to do it — as the new man of the house, he has all the keys. The Ashby women are desperate for a knight in shining armour. But that's not who's coming. Damon is done being what others want him to be. It's time he showed them all that he will never stop being the nightmare they think he is.

In a world where the monster holds all the keys, there is nowhere left to run.

Perfect for readers who love:
Dark romance · Villain MMC · Psychological tension · Captive romance · Fans of Danielle Lori, Rina Kent & Tillie Cole

But what stood out wasn't the darkness.

It was the themes underneath.

🖤 The Monster Who Was Made, Not Born
🖤 Surviving Someone Who Has Decided You Won't
🖤 Power, Control, and What Happens When Both Are Taken
🖤 The Line Between Fear and Something Far More Complicated
🖤 What It Means to See the Human Inside the Nightmare

At Dark Rose, we believe stories are often about far more than their plot.

You may never find yourself trapped in a house with a man who planned his return from prison just for you.

But you may know what it feels like to be powerless in a situation you didn't choose, to be underestimated by someone who should fear you, or to find something unexpectedly human in a person the world has written off as a monster.
