Little Demon in the Details

Here's Nordika Night's "Little Demon in the Details." Because I'm working on TBR/Beat the Backlog, and I'm in an enemies-to-lovers and dark romance kick. 

["When an arranged marriage between two powerful families sparks suspicion, Blake Carter doesn’t hesitate to take advantage of the bride’s younger brother for answers.

Mercer Bentley Palmerston is an outcast—the pariah of his family—so what better source to get dirt on the Palmerstons than their black sheep?

Intrigued by his lingerie, Blake sees an opportunity to get closer to Mercer, but he has no idea how much trouble he’s invited into his life by taking him in.

Mercer might be a brat, but Blake has no interest in taming him. He's a sly demon with ever-changing rules, a larger-than-life personality, and covers his weaknesses with sharp wit. There’s more to Mercer than his outright refusal to behave, and Blake is the only one who realizes why.

Blake, trained and practiced in all forms of private contracting, has a keen eye for details and reading people, including Mercer. But the brat won’t make it easy for him.

Something isn’t right underneath all the fake Palmerston smiles. Can Blake and Mercer learn to trust one another to get to the source?"]

Obsessed!!! So fucking obsessed with these two! I love how needy and obsessed they both were. I love how soft and possessive they both were. I love how feral and toxic they were. They were both so deeply and hopelessly in love, and they didn't give a single fuck.

I also love how Blake build Mercer back up. It wasn't selfish and it wasn't codependent. It was filled with power and independence and self-reliance. All the while Blake was a wall Mercer could lean on; but Mercer build his own pedestal. It was glorious as fuck. And Blake didn't force him, he gave Mercer the option and the tools to do it himself. I'm swooning.

Not to mention swooning from the fluff and the spice!?!? D: I'm dead.
