Blissful Masquerade: A Dark Why Choose Romance (Ruthless Desires Book 1)

After walking away from her toxic boyfriend, Wren replaces herself lonely and wondering if good men only exist in fiction.

But at a Valentine’s Day masquerade ball, she spots them—the three men who meet every week at the coffee shop she works at. The ones who’ve always looked at her like she’s the most interesting thing on the whole planet.

She figures they won’t recognize her, but there’s no way they couldn’t—not when they all feel pulled to her in a way they never have before.

While she’s planning on enjoying herself at the ball before going home to her empty bed, these three men have different plans. They each steal a dance with her, and by the end of the night, they’re all left to face the one truth they’ve been avoiding:

Not a single one of them can resist her. And now, they may not have to.

Blissful Masquerade is the first book in the Ruthless Desires Series. It’s a dark MMMF polyamorous/why choose romance novella that contains a lot of heat, some kink, swearing, and violence. Please check the Before You Read section at the beginning of the book.

Before You Read

Before you read this book, there are two things I want you to be aware of.

First, the next page contains a trigger warning. Please read it so you know what you’re getting into by reading this book!

Second, I purposefully left out most physical descriptors of the characters. I know how annoying it is to read a book and realize the way you picture a certain character is completely off. So imagine them the way you want!

(And to give credit where credit is due: I first got the idea from Ally Carter years ago when she intentionally didn’t describe the love interest of her Heist Society series. I absolutely loved imagining Hale the way I thought of him, so I thought I’d give it a try with this novella.)

Trigger Warning

This story contains some sensitive content, including swearing, a mention of body shaming, violence, a mention of murder, graphic sex scenes, bondage, and degradation. If you think any of those will affect you negatively, I recommend steering clear of this novella. There’s no shame in it! Your mental health is more important. Please take care of yourselves, my friends.
