**Author's note:
While the romance in Followed by the Dark (FBTD) is a standalone, the plot is a continuation of events that began in The Dark Series Trilogy and Because of the Dark (Wes's story). It is strongly recommended to read the previous books prior to reading FBTD.
Denielle's story within The Dark Series is set three years after the last chapter (not the epilogue) in Because of the Dark (Book Four).
This series is intended for MATURE (18+) readers. FBTD is a full-length, dark, contemporary, enemies to lovers, age-gap romantic suspense novel. It is labeled dark due to the themes that may be considered TRIGGERS for some. Reader discretion is advised. (For a more detailed list of triggers, click here.)
She used to be The Bulldog but lost her bite. He buried the one person he should've protected. Now his life is driven by anger and revenge. Together, they're toxic to each other, but neither can deny that something is there.
Denielle
All I ever wanted was to protect what's mine.
My family. My friends. Myself.
That was then.
No one knew how much I hid from the world until Marcus Baxter.
He uncovered my secret—and hated me for it.
I couldn't blame him.
Then, the threat changed, and I became the target.
Marcus
I couldn't protect the one person I swore to save.
I failed her.
Revenge was my mission, the reason to wake up.
Getting recruited by Altman Hotels saved me.
Until I ran into her: Denielle Keller.
She represented the dark that had started it all.
I avoided her for as long as I could.
Now we live under the same roof.
And my hate for her is stronger than ever.
