Coerce: Death in Bloom, Book 1
Ivy
I know what love is. After witnessing its devastation, I’ve shied away from it,
Until Atlas.
I never thought I’d ignore the red flags and wave a white one.
Surrendering to Atlas in the most delectable way, I didn’t realize he’d been playing me all along
Until I found myself at his mercy.
They say love can heal all wounds,
But what about the scars left behind?
Atlas
I don’t know what love is. I’ve never been touched by its light or fallen into its depths,
Until Ivy.
When I see something I want, I take it.
And right now, all I want is her.
Each move I make is calculated and methodical,Until I have her exactly where I want her.
By the time she realizes it’s a trap, it will be too late.
She’ll never forgive me, and I’ll never set her free.
But I feel no guilt, nor remorse.
Not when I’ll own every inch of her; body, heart, and soul.
And not even Ivy herself will stop me.
Author If you’re looking for a White Knight, you might want to look elsewhere. Atlas is an Antihero in every sense of the word.
This book plays with the darker side of love such as obsession, infatuation, and the power plays made to obtain it.
*Coerce is a complete standalone novel
* It goes without saying that this book contains dark elements that some listeners may find uncomfortable including offensive language, graphic violence, and sexual situations. All listeners should be over 18 so I don’t have to answer any awkward emails from your parents or dodge pitchforks when I’m doing my weekly shopping.

Updated review to include audio: 5/5 performance
Candice Wright. Wow 🤩 did this audiobook make me fall in love with these characters all over again!!! Seriously I was so hooked in listening I forgot the twists that kept coming. 🤣🤯! Corvin King could not be a more perfect Atlas! He has his possessive growl down perfectly! Andi Eloise captured Ivy beautifully as well! Seriously awesome cast with James Cassidy & Bryant Walker as well! So excited for the series to continue on audio Blue Nose Audio!
Trope: MF/ Crime Lord Age-Gap Stalker Anti-Hero Suspense Romance
Age-gap romances have always been a favorite, but this stalker anti-hero trope is quickly becoming another. Atlas (35 yr old crime lord MMC) sees her haunting eyes and has to have her. Ivy (18 yo virgin FMC) has no one. She works two jobs just to have what little she does have. However, after a series of events Atlas is able to insert himself as her hero: her car breaking down, needing help from a stalker, losing her jobs over false accusations. He is anything but a hero. He may be infatuated and a bit deranged. But when secrets get exposed she is already his wife. Man does this book hit you with some mindfudgery twists. I loved every minute of it. It is slightly dark so TW 18+

Candice Wright 🖤 The twists and turns you put in this book left my jaw on the floor. If Dark Romances with stalking, obsession, age gap and an anti-hero are tropes your into than this book is for you. Corvin King and Andi Eloise narrating Atlas and Ivy was perfection. Stunning duo! This book had me binging the whole thing in one day. Great job team really superb work! Now onto Compel 🖤🔥
