Stifled: M/M Rescue Romance

It’s not a whodunnit. Detective Declan Graham already knows exactly who is behind the curtain.

“I don’t need help, officer,” Charles Winter says, his defiance masking the danger he’s truly in.

“Detective,” I correct softly.

The problem is, Charles doesn't realize he’s living in a gilded cage. He blindly trusts a husband who is nothing more than a clever con man—a fraud who has Charles constricted in a web of lies. Charles is too trusting, and too young to have his life cut short by the man he's supposed to rely on.

He says he doesn’t want my help, but I’m going to give it to him anyway. I’ll be damned if I let him lose everything before he learns what it feels like to be truly loved—and truly safe.

Stifled is a standalone M/M romantic suspense novel and the third book in the Tarnished series. This story features a protective detective, high-stakes psychological tension, and a journey toward healing. Intended for mature readers with a guaranteed Happily Ever After.
