Binding 13 spicy chapters

  1. coming soon...

reader fit

read this if

you love a protective boy who notices the little things. when she goes quiet. when something’s wrong. when she needs someone to stay, even if she can’t ask. (oh and not super spice heavy)

skip this if

you want something light, a fast-moving romance, or everything wrapped up in one book. there’s a lot of waiting and a lot happening at the same time.

content warnings

child abuse, neglect, domestic violence, severe bullying, parental alcoholism, suicidal thoughts, and panic attacks. these aren't exhaustive, so i'd always recommend checking the author's full content warnings before reading.

standalone + hea

not a standalone. read binding 13 first, then keeping 13. you need both for johnny and shannon’s story.
