Why Read This?The one-sentence sell. What do you get for showing up to this book, even when it's hard?

A Rapunzel retelling where the tower is agoraphobia and the prince is an ex-mafia MMA fighter who's been her bodyguard for six years—funny, filthy, and shockingly tender about mental health.

Spice Level 4

Spice StyleNot just how much spice, but what kind. Emotional intimacy? Explicit but vanilla? Plot-driven heat? Know your flavor.

Explicit scenes with Dom/Sub dynamics. Possessive bodyguard energy meets emotionally layered intimacy—the power exchange feels earned because of how deeply Victor understands Cordelia's trauma.

Getting SteamyGentle kinks. Fun but nothing too crazy. The appetizer, so to speak.
