I hate that woman.
Tyler Neumann has spent years looking for his father, and not because he wants to meet the man. No, he wants to destroy him. And he’ll manipulate whoever he can to exact his revenge.
Including Stella McCormick. She’s everything Tyler hates. Her wealth and privilege have protected her for her entire life, and Tyler thinks it's time she finally paid the price. Whether she’s ready to or not.
I hate that man.
Stella might not believe in love at first sight, but loathing at first sight—no question. From the moment she sets eyes on Tyler in her tattoo parlor, she knows he’s the devil planning to make her life hell.
Forced to play the part of his girlfriend and invite him into her family’s glittering circles, Stella quickly clocks Tyler’s ulterior motives. But love and hate are two sides of the same coin, and soon she doesn’t know which is worse: being blackmailed by a man who wants to ruin her, or that they can’t seem to keep their hands off each other.

The series
The Into Darkness series pulls readers into a world where survival is as much about navigating fractured loyalties as it is about facing the dangers of a collapsing society. Set against the backdrop of a post-apocalyptic landscape, the story thrives on atmosphere with ruined cities, harsh frontiers, and the unrelenting tension of lives balanced on the edge of ruin.
Read full series description
What makes this series resonate is not just its haunting world-building, but the way its characters carry the scars of both past and present. Every alliance feels fragile, every betrayal leaves echoes, and the line between hero and villain is rarely clear. This is a tale where hope is a dangerous luxury, yet it flickers stubbornly in the dark, keeping the reader invested in the struggle for more than just survival.
Written with a raw and immersive style, the series captures both the brutality and the intimacy of human connection when the world has stripped everything else away. Fans of dystopian fiction and grim survival tales will find themselves drawn to its slow-burning intensity and the depth of its emotional stakes.
Into Darkness is less about grand battles and more about the quiet choices that shape destinies in a world where every step forward comes at a cost. It is a story for readers who crave atmosphere, complexity, and the uneasy beauty of resilience found in the shadows.
