If you're a dark romance reader and want something completely out of the ordinary, I invite you to read my dark sci-fi romance.
Told in both the first and second point-of-view, differentiate by italics, Bennett, our morally grey MMC, is a producer & writer who is writing a book about his life as if it were fiction and you are the audience he continues to badger. You look into his past through his written story while watching his present unfold.
Practically a zombie, Bennett Larson has died and returned to life. Now his morals are much greyer, and he’s suddenly dripping in wealth, power, and secrets that one woman is close to figuring out.
Blurb:
You get fame one of two ways.
You do something to earn it, or you die more dramatically than you lived.
I did both, but wallflower perks—only one of those was noticed.
The day I died was the day I was truly born. I woke up from what I assumed would be my eternal slumber covered in a thick muck in the middle of the woods. It wasn't long afterward that I found out what I could do. The things I was capable of would lead me down a path I never wanted but quickly grew to like.
I liked all of it—the fame, the power, the money—right until I met her. Nothing I did worked. She was immune to my abilities. I should have let it go, but my curiosity got the best of me, and she had me right where she wanted me.
