Combining the beautiful drama of Nicholas Sparks with the brutality of dark romance, Pepper Winters has created a tale of soulmates, secrets, cruelty, and heart-wrenching love. Reviews 5 Stars - Tragically mind-blowing. THE book to read of 2023! - Melissa, Goodreads 5 Stars - Lunamare is in a realm of its own -- like no other love story that you will ever read. - Cyn, Goodreads 5 Stars - Fans of the "childhood friends-to-lovers" trope will most likely love this duet as this is one of the main tropes, but be warned, this is anything but a light, breezy read. In Lunamare, you'll also get vibes such as true soulmates, "touch her and you die," a life story, secrets, betrayal, longing, lust, coming-of-age, and truly forbidden love. - Annica, Goodreads 5 Stars - Pepper's ability to write something as beautiful as this, is breathtaking. Her character development and world building skills are unmatchable. Another Masterpiece. - Jennii The Book Addict 5 Stars - This is a journey everyone needs to experience. - Heather, Goodreads 5 Stars - One of my favorite reads of the year! - Betül, Goodreads

The stunning conclusion to the forbidden romance, The Luna Duet, by New York Times Bestseller, Pepper Winters... I made the worst mistake of my life when I was twenty-two. I let love and fear destroy everything I ever wanted, and now I have a choice to make. Run and hide or stay and face the consequences. I’d always known I wasn’t allowed to love her. I’d always accepted that I wasn’t allowed to keep her. But that didn’t stop me. I broke every rule and choked on every secret to have her. The only problem is, those secrets aren’t just hunting me anymore, they’ve found me. I can’t run. I can’t hide. For a moment, I had it all. I had all my dreams and the girl I would kill for. But now, I have to pay the price. I have to pay… And I won’t survive. A story that spans a lifetime.

It bought my entire life. A measly ten thousand dollars, given to my boyfriend by a monster to taste me. He took it. The monster took me. And I never saw freedom again.” I’m the illegitimate son of a monster. My other half-blooded siblings have their own demons…but me? I truly have the devil inside. I try to be good. To do my best to ignore the deep, dark, despicable urges. But every day it gets harder. I thought family could help. I reached out to my infamous half-brother, Q, begging for his secrets to stay tamed. Instead, he gave me an ultimatum to prove I’m not like our father. Infiltrate The Jewelry Box: a trafficking ring of poor unfortunate souls, kill the Master Jeweler, free the Jewels, and don’t lose my rotten soul while trying. Only problem is…my initiation into this exclusive club is earning a Jewel all of my own. She sparkles like diamonds, bleeds like rubies, and bruises as deep as emeralds. She’s mine to break. I can’t refuse. If I want to prove to my half-brother that I’m not like our sire, I have to sink into urges I’ve always fought, plunge into madness, and lose myself so deeply into sin that the only one who will be breaking is me.

The storylines are completely separate. Strictly R18. Triggers on every warning possible. This is dark, explicit, and will push every possible boundary that exists. Be warned.... To all those dark souls out there...welcome to The Jewelry Box Reviews: 5 Stars There are two authors that have the ability to render my brain mush with anxiety, dread and ultimately a large amount of intrigue. And Pepper is one of them. The way she laid the foundation for what I know will be my next favorite dark romance tale just proves how talented she is. -- I am Booked 5 Stars How can I articulate how much I loved this book? I don’t think I can find words to do it justice. Beneath all the rawness, dark aspects and suffering, this story is captivating, overwhelming and hauntingly beautiful.-- Jennii The Book Addict 5 Stars This book just blew my mind. An emotionally challenging read, addictive writing and morally graphite-grey characters that play with boundaries of morality are hallmarks of Pepper. Pulling you in with gravitational force you will be left astounded, heartbroken, maybe sick at some parts, but you won't escape unscathed & unaffected. This series should be a mandatory read for any lover of dark romance. Nobody ...and I mean NOBODY can create more complex characters with bottomless pits for souls, like she can. -- Book Bistro Blog 5 Stars Back to her roots...Pepper Winters starts off a new series full of depravity. Dark and sexy...I can tell this series will not be for the faint of heart, and, most likely, if you have ANY triggers, it will not be for you. If you enjoy sexiness and a shopping list of trigger warnings...then this will be right up your alley. - Danielle and Her S*** Books
