The Pretty Poison Trilogy– A Gritty Dark MM Romance
When privilege meets poison, there’s no going back.
London is a city of rules. Written and unwritten.
Some are enforced in courtrooms and Mayfair drawing rooms.
Others are carved into alleyways, paid for in blood and silence.
Razor Slade lives by the latter.
Raised on a Hackney estate and hardened by the East End underworld, Razor survives on violence, loyalty, and control. He knows exactly what he is, and what the world will never let him be.
Tristan Hale-Fitzroy belongs to the opposite side of the city.
Born into wealth, privilege, and suffocating expectation, Tristan has spent his life performing perfection. But beneath the tailored suits and golden future is a hunger for something real. Something dangerous. Something that might finally break him free.
When their worlds collide, desire turns addictive.
What begins as lust becomes obsession. What feels like escape becomes entrapment. As gang wars erupt, corruption seeps upward, and the justice system reveals its rot, Razor and Tristan are dragged deeper into a love that threatens to destroy them both.
Because in a city built on power and lies, loving the wrong man is the most dangerous crime of all.
Pretty Poison is a dark, gritty MM romance trilogy about forbidden desire, class collision, moral corruption, and choosing love in a world designed to punish it.
Crave
(Pretty Poison Book 1)
The first taste always burns the sweetest.
Razor
I ran a drug line in East London for a man with a soul darker than the devil’s.
Violence kept me breathing. Loyalty kept my sister and her baby fed. Control was the only thing I’d ever owned.
Then he walked into my world and tore it apart.
Tristan Hale-Fitzroy.
Rich. Beautiful. Untouchable. A bloke who should’ve crossed the road when he saw me coming. Instead, he stood his ground with lies on his lips and defiance in his eyes. And I was hooked on something far stronger than anything I’d ever peddled on the streets.
I knew he didn’t belong.
I knew he’d ruin me.
I let him anyway.
Tristan
I was born into privilege and raised inside a cage disguised as perfection. I did everything right, until betrayal shattered the life I was supposed to want.
So I went looking for something real.
I found it in a stranger’s hands.
In danger.
In him.
Razor Slade.
He thought I was simply another transaction in his violent world. I let him believe it, because the truth was far more dangerous.
One reckless encounter turned into obsession. Desire became dependency. And as gang wars closed in and the law crept ever closer, I realised the truth too late:
Razor wasn’t my escape.
He was my addiction.
And I was desperate for another taste.
Crave is the first book in the Pretty Poison Trilogy—a dark, addictive MM romance set in London’s criminal underworld, where obsession burns hotter than loyalty, and falling for the wrong man might be the deadliest crime of all.
Corrupt
(Pretty Poison Book 2)
You don’t have to break the law to be destroyed by it.
Razor
Power didn’t change me.
But it gave people more reasons to watch.
More territory. More money. More responsibility stacked on my shoulders until breathing felt like a liability. I told myself this was what survival looked like. Control. Distance. No attachments.
Then Tristan Hale-Fitzroy walked back into my life.
Still polished. Still reckless. Still looking at me as if I wasn’t built to break him. I knew better this time. I knew what he cost. I let him in anyway.
We crossed lines I couldn’t uncross.
Drugs dressed up as indulgence. Desire sharp enough to hurt. Moments where I forgot the rules that kept me alive.
I didn’t realise how many people were counting on me to slip.
Tristan
I rebuilt my life on discipline and ambition.
Pupillage. Prestige. A future that finally belonged to me.
Razor Slade was supposed to be the past.
A dangerous mistake I’d survived.
But some men don’t stay buried.
He was darker now. More powerful. More dangerous than ever. And still the only thing that made me feel real. I told myself I could handle it this time. That I could touch the fire without burning.
I was wrong.
Because corruption doesn’t announce itself.
It works quietly. Through pressure. Through temptation. Through people who know exactly where to apply force.
And the closer I got to Razor, the clearer it became:
This wasn’t a relapse.
It was a descent.
Corrupt is Book Two in the Pretty Poison Trilogy—a dark, addictive MM romance where power distorts everything it touches, desire becomes leverage, and love is the most dangerous vulnerability of all.
Claim
(Pretty poison book 3)
He was my weakness...and my weapon.
Razor Slade was never meant to survive this long.
Now he’s inside, where power shifts fast, loyalty means nothing, and weakness could get him killed. His reputation might keep men at bay, but it won’t save him from the enemies closing in. Especially not the ones who know exactly how to use his biggest vulnerability against him.
Tristan Hale-Fitzroy.
The barrister who should have been his escape.
The man who became his undoing.
Newly qualified and finally standing on his own, Tristan has everything he’s worked for within reach. Until Razor’s case lands back in his orbit. What should be simple isn’t. The deeper he digs, the more the cracks begin to show. And the more dangerous it becomes to keep looking.
Because someone powerful wants Razor buried.
Taking the case could cost Tristan his career. His future. Everything.
But walking away would cost him Richie.
As the pressure builds inside and outside the prison walls, lines blur between justice and control, loyalty and survival. And when the truth finally surfaces, it won’t just be Razor’s fate on the line…
It’ll be whether either of them are brave enough to claim the other.
