What My Dark Romeo is like to read

A propulsive dark-romance revenge plot pitched as a Romeo-and-Juliet inversion — the heroine plots her captor's downfall while the chemistry curdles into obsession. Fast chapters, snarky first-person voice, and morally-gray leverage games rather than tender slow-burn. Best for: readers who want antagonistic dark-romance with a scheming heroine and a villain love interest.
