Our Thing
Synopsis
Cassidy Slater is the most promising young ballerina at her academy, raised in the shadow of "the District" — a tight, violent enclave run by Australian crime families. Max Butcher is a tattooed boxer with one foot in the ring and the other in his family's criminal empire. When their worlds collide, a fierce, consuming bond forms between them, one that neither the rules of the District nor the danger that surrounds them can easily contain.
Told in Nicci Harris's raw, unflinching voice, Our Thing is a dark mafia romance about first love forged in a brutal place. As Cassidy is drawn deeper into Max's world of loyalty, violence, and family obligation, the tenderness between them is tested against the harsh code they were both raised under.
The opening book of the Kids of The District series, Our Thing is the first half of Cassidy and Max's story, continued directly in Cosa Nostra. Intense and morally grey, it comes with significant content warnings and is intended for adult readers of dark romance.
