What this book is about
Tatum O'Shea is used as a pawn in a game between two powerful men. Sanders Calloway is one of those men — dark, manipulative, and impossible to ignore. Fantome's Mercenary series is explicit dark romance with non-consent themes, power dynamics, and an anti-hero who is genuinely difficult. Not for readers who prefer conventional heroes.
