Small towns are supposed to be safe-home to idealistic neighborhoods, free from the ugly that taints the world. Evil has no bounds though, no matter how high your white picket fence stands. Maplefield is perfect on the outside but corrupt and twisted within. Rylan Pierce and Callen Bailer meet at a club the community doesn't speak about. Rylan is running from her past, but baggage like hers isn't easy to just leave behind. Callen lives life on the road, traveling wherever he's contracted and doing whatever necessary to finish the job, regardless of how illegal or deadly. Lust drives them together, but depravity cements their bond. Two people with tarnished souls will either bring each other light or pull one another deeper into the darkness. *WARNING* Deeper is a standalone, dark romance that contains strong sexual themes, extreme violence, and explicit language. The scenes containing these triggers are intensely graphic and very detailed. The themes of death/murder, abuse (both physical and sexual), and child neglect/abuse are heavily present within this novel. This is not a thin warning or a light read.
