Distorted by Nyla K (Paperback)

The first book in Nyla K’s Alabaster Penitentiary series — a full MM dark romance with a guaranteed happy-ever-after.

This is Alabaster Penitentiary: where they send you when the world already thinks you’re dead, and where, our narrator warns, you’ll soon wish you were. It’s a place for the stain on society — the freaks, the creeps, the killers who look like your favourite Netflix documentaries come to life. They lock them up and throw away the key, because they deserve it. But not him. He’s just a lowly bank robber. He doesn’t belong here among the psychopaths and the remorseless. At least, he doesn’t think he does.

Getting by unscathed is his top priority. Unfortunately, inside Alabaster, the people in charge are more dangerous than the inmates — the guards run the show, and he’s caught the attention of the most twisted one of all. The man has a name, but he might as well just be Officer. The two circle one another like a sun and a moon, locked in an axis of confused lust and torment, until the truth itself distorts and the very thing he once feared becomes the thing he craves. Reality warps in the dungeon, and he’s left wondering which prison is worse: the one holding his body, or the one holding his mind.

Distorted is intended for mature audiences and open-minded readers only. Please check the author’s content warnings before reading, and take care if these themes affect you. Each book in the series is technically standalone but interconnected, and best read in order. The author recommends going in blind.

Perfect for readers who love dark MM romance, a guard-and-prisoner captive dynamic, forbidden enemies-to-lovers tension and a hurt/comfort slow burn with an edge.
