Love Me Not is a dark, fast-paced, smutty Valentine’s Day novella.
This race is life or death.
Every February, Miami’s underground elite gather for Cupid’s Run—a secret, week-long street race where engines scream, brakes fail, and losing means death.
Ronan Vale rules the streets with precision, obsession, and blood. Each night a racer dies, he comes back to Iris, their connection burning hotter as the body count rises. Desire becomes ritual. Violence becomes foreplay.
This year, a rival syndicate raises the stakes.
Seven races. Seven lives. And Iris is the prize.
When the final race pits Ronan against his deadliest enemy, only one man will survive—and only one will keep her.
As Valentine’s Day approaches, Iris must decide how far she’ll go for the man she loves.
Because winning the race might keep him alive…but loving him may cost everything else.
