Protect your heart, friends. Reader discretion is advised.
ATONING CONVICTION
While the Conviction Series as a whole is not considered “dark romance,” Atoning Conviction definitely qualifies as a dark romance. It should only be read by mature readers (18+) and contains drug use, strong language, sexually explicit scenes, along with descriptions of human trafficking, torture, gun play, physical and sexual violence, rape, suicide, and also references child sexual abuse.
I've written up a few trigger warning "spoilers" for Chapters 5, 15, and 16. If you are wary about reading them (these specifically have graphic SA triggers), then please, please, please read the synopsis for the chapters below! It contains the majorly important parts of Chapters 5, 15, and 16. There are definitely *still* other triggers all over this book and these SA-specific triggering events are referenced in the book elsewhere. But graphic SA details are mostly limited to these chapters, so hopefully this synopsis will help.
Protect your heart babes. Reader discretion is advised.
