About this book
Vane and the Crocodile AKA the Madd Brothers, have been stripped of their titles and their assets after their father’s failed coup of the Darkland Court. Immortal, powerful and monstrous, it doesn’t take them long to make their way back up the ladder, but this time it’s not in the manors and mansions of the Darkland elite, it’s the dark underbelly known as the Umbrage. Years later, they now rule the Umbrage and they are ruthless, destroying anyone who gets in their way. But even monsters have hearts, and when Roc and Vane find theirs broken, there’s only one choice: get revenge. Content warnings can be found on the author's website.

Romance Reads & ReviewsRoc & Vane’s Backstory
"This was the backstory that we needed for Roc and Vane. I was not expecting Alice to be in it, but when I tell you, she shook them up, she did so vigorously. We get the play-by-play of how Roc killed the princess of dark land. This leaves on a cliffhanger, which I hope we’ll get another book to answer more questions. ["
