I hate that woman.
Tyler Neumann has spent years looking for his father, and not because he wants to meet the man. No, he wants to destroy him. And he’ll manipulate whoever he can to exact his revenge.
Including Stella McCormick. She’s everything Tyler hates. Her wealth and privilege have protected her for her entire life, and Tyler thinks it's time she finally paid the price. Whether she’s ready to or not.
I hate that man.
Stella might not believe in love at first sight, but loathing at first sight—no question. From the moment she sets eyes on Tyler in her tattoo parlor, she knows he’s the devil planning to make her life hell.
Forced to play the part of his girlfriend and invite him into her family’s glittering circles, Stella quickly clocks Tyler’s ulterior motives. But love and hate are two sides of the same coin, and soon she doesn’t know which is worse: being blackmailed by a man who wants to ruin her, or that they can’t seem to keep their hands off each other.
This is an enemies-to-lovers dark romance with morally grey characters. Some themes and scenes may be disturbing to readers. Please check the content warning at the beginning of the book.

Navessa Allen
Navessa Allen writes the kind of romance that refuses to play it safe. Her novels walk straight into the shadows, where obsession, power, and desire clash, and dare readers to follow. With a mix of raw intimacy, sharp dialogue, and unpredictable turns, her stories invite you into worlds where love is never neat but always unforgettable.
Allen’s path to publishing was anything but ordinary. Born the youngest of five, she grew up tucked away in the mountains, often left to her imagination while her siblings roamed the woods. That solitude shaped her early storytelling voice, one rooted in longing and curiosity about what lies beneath the surface of people and places. Later, her adult life carried her across a startling range of careers: she engineered flight simulators, bartended in the Caribbean, farmed in rural New England, served in the military, and ran her own business in Maryland. Each chapter gave her a different lens on human tension, resilience, and the stakes of survival, lessons she now threads through her fiction.
Into Darkness
The Into Darkness series pulls readers into a world where survival is as much about navigating fractured loyalties as it is about facing the dangers of a collapsing society. Set against the backdrop of a post-apocalyptic landscape, the story thrives on atmosphere with ruined cities, harsh frontiers, and the unrelenting tension of lives balanced on the edge of ruin.
Into Darkness consists of two books and series is set to expand with the upcoming release of one more book. The current recommended reading order for the series is provided below.
