Connor’s Claim: Alternate Cover by Jolie Vines (Paperback)

An Alternate Cover edition of Connor’s Claim — the second book in Jolie Vines’s interconnected dark MF romance trilogy, Body Count. I tried everything to get his attention, but I invited in a monster.

After facing a threat to her life, she finds herself kidnapped and locked away by the skeleton crew’s enforcer. Connor is feared, respected, and utterly obsessed with her. He controls everything, right down to her pleasure; his rules dictate what she can and can’t touch, when she can and can’t wear clothes. And the strangest part of all? How happy she is.

From the outside, her old life appeared perfect — but her father’s iron grip had slowly suffocated her, and now, in the hands of her captor, she can finally breathe. As the body count climbs in Deadwater, she never wants to leave her masked man’s protection, even knowing that caring for her might cause his downfall. Without quite realising it, she’s become Connor’s claim. The only question is how long it can last, when the secrets she’s keeping threaten to destroy them both. Set against a murder mystery in a dark city, it’s a possessive, high-heat captive romance between an unhinged enforcer and the mayor’s daughter.

Please read with care. Connor’s Claim is a dark romance with a lengthy content-warning list, including dangerous play; please check the trigger warnings before reading, and take care if these themes affect you.

Perfect for readers who love dark romance, a captor-and-captive bond, a possessive tattooed anti-hero, forced proximity and a murder mystery with secrets ready to detonate.
