Sinners Retreat: A Dark Rom-Com

All's fair in murder and mayhem

Ezra

Love isn't on my mind when I sign up for the yearly Sinners Retreat, but a chance meeting at the airport changes everything.

We click right away, and my bond with Kindra only deepens when we discover our mutual love for the most macabre hobbies. But then she brings up her brother's unsolved murder and her real reason for being here… To find his killer. That's when my past finally catches up with me, and I'm faced with an impossible choice.

Do I tell her the truth and risk losing her, or can I find a way to keep my real identity a secret forever?

Sinners Retreat is a dark romantic comedy with explosive chemistry, razor-sharp humor, and a love story that’s anything but safe.

Tropes:

Black Cat x Cinnamon Roll

They’re both serial unalivers

MMC with glasses (and a whole lot of secrets)

Plus-sized, tough FMC

One-night stand that spirals into chaos

Forced proximity

Dark humor and a whole lot of banter

Although this dark rom-com is "DIET" Lauren Biel, it still has adult themes. Full list of content warnings on my website.
