DEFENSELESS
Not yet published
Expected 16 Mar 26Taken. Broken. Bound.
Rescue is coming. Right?
Alongside Misha and Volk, Jessie endures captivity that strips them all down to their rawest selves. Fear, rage, and devotion become the fragile threads that keep them alive.
Dmitri and Rachel won't stop looking for them.
Rachel is sharp and unbreakable on the surface, carrying scars from a past she refuses to let define her. Dmitri is quiet, relentless, and willing to cross any line to protect what’s his. Together, they don’t just pull Jessie, Misha, and Volk out of hell—they refuse to let them face the aftermath alone.
But freedom doesn’t bring peace.
It brings grief. Nightmares. Bodies that remember too much.
What forms between them isn’t simple. Or easy.
It’s messy and intense. Built on shared trauma, loyalty, and a kind of love that doesn’t fit rules.
As Jessie and Rachel navigate recovery, desire, and the terrifying possibility of a future, the danger hasn’t disappeared—it’s only gone quiet. Enemies are still watching. Plans are still in motion. And in a world ruled by violence, choosing love might be the most dangerous act of all.
DEFENSELESS is the second book of a dark, why choose romance. It CANNOT be read as a standalone. Book 1, DESPERATE, must be read first. This book contains adult themes, sensitive topics, and is solely intended for mature audiences 18+. It is recommended that readers consult the trigger warnings found in the foreword before reading.

About the author
K.L. Lindsey
6 books16 followersK.L. Lindsey writes dark romance because it’s cheaper than therapy and way more fun. She has a soft spot for golden retriever men with sharp teeth, traumatized girls who burn the world down, and plot twists that hurt.
No one knows if she’s chaotic-neutral or just caffeine-dependent. Probably both.
When she’s not writing morally questionable characters doing morally questionable things, she’s rereading her favorite scenes and wondering if she should warn her readers… (She won’t.)
She lives in a house full of books and bad decisions with her husband, kids, and cats.
