Official synopsis Publisher
THE INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER
From the author of TikTok’s favourite dark and steamy romance, Lights Out, comes Navessa Allen’s second book in the New York Times bestselling Into Darkness trilogy
I want this woman, and I’m a man who always gets what he wants.
Nico ‘Junior’ Trocci knows Lauren Marchetti is off limits. Men like him don’t get to have women like her. It’s why he pushed her away in high school and still keeps his distance. But Junior follows Lauren online, and now that the shy, bookish girl he remembers is gone, he can’t stop obsessing over the strikingly beautiful woman who has taken her place.
He’s ruthless; a walking red flag. Good thing red is my favorite color.
Lauren ‘Lo’ Marchetti knows Junior is dangerous. He broke her heart once and she won’t let him do it again. But as their flirtatious encounters escalate, Lauren starts to remember why she fell for the brooding antihero all those years ago.
As old obstacles resurface, Junior and Lauren are forced to face their true feelings for each other and decide just how far they’re willing to go for a second chance at love.
