Lights Out: An Into Darkness Novel (Book One Into Darkness Series) by Navessa Allen

A viral TikTok dark romance that’s somehow high-heat, genuinely funny, and still sharp-edged enough to keep you on your toes. Lights Out takes a “masked men online” obsession and turns it into a consensual, kinky cat-and-mouse game—until the fantasy gets real, the feelings get messy, and the danger stops being pretend.

Aly Cappellucci is a trauma nurse who’s perfectly content keeping her spicy little fixation where it belongs: online. Masked men are fantasy fuel—safe, hot, and contained. Except one drunken text turns her “what if” into a very real, very shirtless, heavily tattooed man in her bedroom.

That man is Josh Hammond, who keeps his real life quiet while his masked persona is internet-famous. Millions of fans, endless thirst… and one follower he can’t stop watching: Aly. When she basically dares him to break in wearing a mask, Josh decides to play along. What starts as consensual, kinky roleplay spirals into something deeper, darker, and wildly addictive—especially once Aly realizes she isn’t the only one being watched.

Content note: potentially disturbing themes/scenes—best practice is to check the trigger warnings at the start of the book.
