Not yet published
Expected 25 Aug 26God of Malice meets Yellowstone in this stalker romance full of searing spice and featuring a college student being hunted by a cowboy utterly obsessed with her.
Nineteen-year-old Peyton Turner has a stalker. No, she doesn’t have a proof but she can feel him watching her every move. She can feel his intense stares through her bedroom window, and she can smell his intoxicating scent when he’s close. But every time she tries to catch him, he seems to disappear into the shadows. The only thing she knows for sure is that he wears a mask. A mask that hides a wicked scar running down his face but accentuates his startling green eyes.
She shouldn’t revel in his dangerous attention, but she can’t help herself. There’s something about him that calls to her. Until her best friend and the only person she’s ever been able to count on in her life, goes missing. Peyton has a feeling her masked stalker has something to do with it. After all, his sudden presence in her life can’t be a coincidence. But instead of staying away from him, she has a set a trap, draw him out of hiding and somehow bring her best friend home.

Roped • Saffron A. Kent
One phrase: masked cowboy stalker obsession 🤠🖤
Saffron A. Kent really said God of Malice meets Yellowstone and then gave us a dark, dangerous, deliciously obsessive romance that had me completely hooked.
Roped is the kind of book that leans all the way into the shadows and somehow still finds light there.
Peyton knows someone is watching her. She can feel him outside her window. Sense him in the dark. Smell him when he gets too close. She does not have proof, but she knows her masked stalker is real.
And honestly? The fact that she is scared but also a little drawn to the danger?
Yeah. I was seated.
Rad, her dark Phantom cowboy, is broody, scarred, dangerous, possessive, and hiding so much more than Peyton realizes. Their dynamic is pure cat and mouse, except once Peyton finally calls her monster out of the shadows, the game becomes so much bigger than either of them.
What I loved most was how Peyton and Rad became each other’s light. He lives in the darkness, but something about Peyton reaches him. And Peyton, even when everything gets more dangerous and sinister, refuses to be helpless. Her banter, her bravery, her fire, all of it made their relationship so addictive.
This book is dark, intense, and full of that obsessive “I will burn the world to keep you safe” energy. But underneath the stalking, danger, and secrets, there is also healing, loyalty, and a love that feels like survival.
The series world keeps getting deeper too, with the fight for freedom, the Grayson legacy, and all the tension surrounding what still needs to be won. I am so obsessed with these characters and this world.

Review of advance copy received from NetGalley
Saffron writes some of the most deliciously dark books and I love every one of them, but Roped…oh Roped took my darkness and made it happy!!
Peyton and her dark Phantom have a cat and mouse game happening, but when Peyton finally calls her monster out of the shadows the real game begins and Peyton realizes she’s part of a darker and more sinister plan than she originally thought.
This book has some of the events from book one layered in but the focus is solely on Peytin and her Phantom! Things go deeper though because the fight for freedom and for the Grayson’s to have what’s rightfully theirs isn’t over. Now Peyton must find a way to help those she loves while Rad, her dark, broody cowboy Phantom tries to keep everyone safe!
What I loved about this dark and dangerous romance is how Rad and Peyton became each others light. Even though Rad lives in the shadows something about Peyton calls to him and their banter or well her banter had me chuckling and hanging on to every moment!
Gah I could go on and on about this book! What I will say is that this series, these characters are Everything! There is something that just sucks you in and keeps you! I am so obsessed with this series but the healing and love between Rad and Peyton elevated them to my faves!
