Madness

The heroine belongs to the Lords, a secret society that brands its members and rewards those who prove themselves. Most women never get that chance. She does, and she is finally assigned to a Lord: Haidyn Jamison Reeves, one of the Spade brothers.

She keeps her position under control until Haidyn discovers what she has been hiding. In her world, the way to the top costs something the Lords want, and he gives her two options. She can become his toy, or he hands her over to the Lords. She takes the first, because she has worked too hard to let anyone claim what she has earned.

Haidyn gradually takes apart her lies and takes over her days. What she believed she wanted slowly stops matching what she needs. There is also Carnage, a prison run by a Spade brother for people who have wronged the society, and the Lords have sent her there. Secrets come out, and the man who blackmailed her turns out to be the one she can rely on.

This is a dark romance with one hero and one heroine, with no sharing. The hero is jealous, possessive and over the top. The story alternates between both points of view. It carries dark themes that may disturb some readers, and the book lists its trigger warnings inside.
