Overview

Lex had never planned on coming back. He’d escaped his family’s estate four years earlier, determined to put as much distance as possible between himself and Morgan. His childhood fixation on his stepbrother wasn’t exactly something he wanted to bring up at a party—especially after witnessing the monster Morgan became in the woods.

When Morgan learned of his father’s death, he wrote it off as an inconvenience to handle—another task to check off before returning to the monotony of his real life. But discovering that the money tied to the estate and business wouldn’t simply be handed over? That he’d have to work with Lex for six months due to some ridiculous clause in his father’s will? That was the final insult.

For Lex, it became a battle to survive Morgan’s sadism and the dark pull of his own obsession. For Morgan, breaking Lex was both pleasure and promise—pawns existed to be sacrificed, after all.

But the line between destruction and control is razor-thin. And as their twisted game spirals into something far more dangerous, every move threatens to destroy not just each other, but what’s left of their sanity.

In the end, the question isn’t who will win—it’s who will survive intact.

Authors Note: The Mourning Game is a slow-burn, enemies-to-lovers MM dark romance. If you enjoy morally corrupt characters, intense psychological tension, and a love story that teeters on the edge of destruction, this one’s for you.
