Knock My Teeth

From the author of Verona Vices comes a visceral descent into a new saga of hollow hearts, burning debts, and the wreckage of Newark.

"In a city of nothing, being destroyed by the man you hate is the only thing that proves you’re still breathing."

Avril
He is my brother’s worst enemy. The villain of the wreckage that left my family's name a stain on this city. In Newark, names don’t hold weight; they just burn. I didn’t come here to mourn the past, and I certainly didn't come for salvation. I came to collect, and his debt is long overdue. I’m sleeping with the enemy with a blade pressed to his throat, perfectly happy to let him ruin the only thing I have left: my hatred.

She thinks she’s holding all the cards, but she’s just feeding the monster she created. Every time she looks at me, the air in the room thins, and I see the exact moment she realizes she’s as hollow as I am. I don’t want her forgiveness; I want to watch the fallout when she realizes that in this city, we don't fix things. We let them consume us until there's nothing left but rust.

I’ll take her apart, stitch by stitch, until the only thing she recognizes is the monster marking her skin. She wants to play the executioner, but she was born to be my redemption.

Knock My Teeth is a standalone novel set in the Newark Nethers series. While the characters reappear throughout the saga, each book can be read in any order.

WARNING: This is an ultra-dark MMA romance featuring graphic violence, "tear the seams" obsession, and morally black characters who would rather burn the world down than defy their destiny. If you are looking for a clean fight or redemption, you won’t find it here. Step into the arena. Embrace the vice.

*It is recommended to read the prequel Carve My Heart in the Verona Vices Series for context and background.*
