Madness by Shantel Tessier (Paperback)

Madness is the sixth book in Shantel Tessier’s Lords series, a dark, spicy romance that dives deeper into the shadowy world of the secret society.

A Lord takes what he wants. But like anyone else, even he can grow greedy and betray his oath, and that’s where Carnage comes in, the prison run by a Spade brother for those who have wronged their society. As it happens, it’s exactly where our heroine has been sent.

Most women within the Lords never get the chance to prove themselves worthy of the brand, or the power that comes with it. But there’s always an exception, and she is one of them. At last, her time had come to be assigned to a Lord, and not just any Lord, but a Spade brother, Haidyn Jamison Reeves. She had everything under control, right up until he discovered what she was hiding.

In their world, everyone knows the only way to the top is to sacrifice something the Lords want. So when Haidyn offered her a choice, become his, or be turned over to the Lords, the decision was easy. She’d worked far too hard to let anyone take what she’d earned, and so she chose to become his dirty little secret rather than admit she’d failed.

Please note this touches on very dark themes; content warnings are listed inside the book and on the author’s website. This contains spoilers for earlier books, so don’t start here. Perfect for readers who love a dark secret society romance, a forced-proximity slow burn and a possessive Lord who uncovers every secret.
