Summary

All About Romance Favourite Book 2025

Sold. Prostituted. Broken. Until him.

Four books. One devastating story. Two men fighting for justice, survival, and each other.

London, 2095. The world drowned. The system broke. And people became property.

Enslaved and microchipped, Alexander Lytton survived by creating the perfect mask: blank, obedient, invisible. Behind it, he was safe. One slip, and he was dead.

Detective Josiah Raine hasn't touched another man since his husband's brutal murder seven years ago. He's a ghost investigating ghosts, running on empty, barely holding himself together.

When Alex's master is murdered, their worlds collide. What begins as a murder investigation becomes something far more dangerous: a love that could destroy them both—or save them.

Across four books, follow Alex and Josiah as they navigate:

A devastating revelation that shatters everything Josiah thought he knew about his husband's death

Alex's desperate fight for survival as a pawn in Ghost Eye City

An impossible choice between justice and love in the cold grey waters of a lost zone

A final showdown in the Quarterlands, where buried secrets demand their reckoning

In a world where Alex isn't Josiah's to love—he's property, evidence, forbidden—two broken men must decide: can they build a future on a foundation of lies? Or will the truth destroy everything they've fought for?

Dark water. Deadly secrets. A love worth fighting for. Contains dark themes intended for mature listeners

The complete Dark Water series—all four books, one unforgettable journey.

When I started it, I wasn’t sure. It was jumping back and forth in the story but it drew my attention…then things start to fall into place and what a heartbreaking story! It’s full of highs and lows, and will make you smile in places, but their hard won HEA will have you in tears! Fantastic story of twists and turns.

Amazing twisting story

I loved these books. The world building was fantastic, complex but never too much. The plot moved back and forth between the past and present to slowly reveal the truth of lots of wonderful twists. The characters found their way into my soul. The narrator was ideal. The ending was perfect.

Perfect
