Trigger/Content Warnings: Bittersweet Revenge is a darker romance than what I usually write. As always, the most important thing is to protect yourself. If you have triggers, you might want to read the info below so you can make an informed decision before continuing. Bittersweet Revenge contains violence, murder, drug use and morally gray characters without a redemption arc. If you have no triggers and don’t like spoilers, be aware that the next part of the warning does contain plot spoilers.
***
Bittersweet Revenge also has limited physical child abuse. Tiernan has one memory/dream of being hit by his father when he was a child and his father backhands him a couple of times as an adult too. There’s an attempt by a side character to roofie another character, but their plans don’t come to fruition. There is also discussion of this side character having assaulted someone in the past.

★ SYNOPSIS
Dean
I’ve been stalking Tiernan O’Shea online for years.
After Sloan O’Shea killed my dad, my mom and I spent years in hiding, moving from state to state, changing our names, never drawing attention to ourselves, hoping to never be found.
I’ve fed off nothing but vengeance ever since.
Tiernan O’Shea is exactly like his father—arrogant, rich, ruthless.
The plan is simple: Get accepted to Ashford U. Get close to Tiernan. Get him to trust me. And then, when he brings me home to his father, I’ll take my revenge on Sloan O’Shea.
What I don’t expect is discovering the secret side of Tiernan, the parts he doesn’t show the rest of the world. He’s as beautiful as he is brutal—deadly, yes, but he’s also the kind of man who would do anything for those he loves. We’re alike in ways I never imagined. And when he touches me, kisses me…it makes me feel like I matter.
I’ve spent my whole life hoping to even the score, but now my revenge will be bittersweet because it’ll make me lose the only man I’ve ever loved.
Content Warning: Bittersweet Revenge contains violence, darker themes, and morally gray characters with no redemption arc. This is still a Riley Hart romance though, so you can expect a happily ever after for our guys. Please use the look inside feature for a more detailed content warning.
