Hot, playful, and kink-friendly—romcom pacing with dark edges.

The vibe

Murdering a man isn’t hard. Getting away with it? That’s the tricky part—unless you’re Shelby, a forensic scientist who knows exactly how to make a crime disappear. She never planned to use her expertise like this… but when it comes to justice for her sister, Shelby is done playing nice.

There’s just one problem: disposing of a body is a lot easier in theory than it is when you actually have to, you know, lift one.

Enter Brad—a hot, buff blond himbo who interrupts her mid-disposal and casually offers lifting advice like this is a normal Tuesday. Shelby has a choice: add him to her body count… or recruit him as her muscle. Brad is strong, helpful, and willing to do anything to please her. What could possibly go wrong?

Because every good villain deserves a himbo henchman—and once Shelby and Brad team up, the line between “cleanup” and “courtship” gets messier by the minute.
