A Dark Rom Com
Tormented & Tulips
Prepare for L.B. Vines' dark romantic comedy debut.
Dark, playful, and deliciously twisted, Tormented & Tulips is for readers who like their romance unconventional, their humor wicked, and their fictional men more than a little questionable.
Patience doesn’t kill for fun; she kills for justice. She’s dedicated her life to artistically dismembering sadistic scumbags and keeping everyone but her sisters at a distance—ideally six feet under.Unfortunately, her current hunt has put her in unfamiliar territory, because while she’s ready for a fight, she’s not ready for him.
As a full-time financier and part-time mass murderer, Ethan Passmore knows how to bleed companies dry, and bodies drier. Stringing them up like macabre marionettes is the only time the obsessive-compulsive precision in his brain goes silent. His calling cards are precise, ordered—everything the thorny, chaotic bouquets he suddenly finds popping up in the city – are not.
They’re also his next fixation.
From light stalking to infuriating cat-and-mouse games, Patience and Ethan clash in a deadly battle of wits, slowly growing from bitter enemies to something unthinkable. But in this business, love is a lethal liability, and the hunters will become the hunted if they’re not careful. Will this pair of hunters find their prey in time? Or will they remain blind to the danger lurking in the shadows?
