BLURB:

I’ve wanted you for twenty years, little rabbit. I watched him waste twenty years of you. I’m done waiting. Now you’re out of time…

A masked stranger, a forbidden obsession, and a divorcée fall down the rabbit hole when the lights go out in this dark Alice in Wonderland retelling from bestselling author Lydia Michaels.

Alice Carroll gave her husband everything—her youth, her savings, and twenty years of marriage—only to watch him build an empire, betray her, and leave her broke. As she approaches forty, Alice barely recognizes the woman in the mirror. But when she discovers The Looking Glass, an anonymous forum for exploring taboo desires and experimentation, she stumbles into the White Rabbit.

His face stays hidden. His real name is forbidden. But he knows exactly what she needs and coaxes every secret desire from her lips, then tells her where to touch. He rewards every uncomfortable truth and praises her when she obeys.

Alice tells herself it’s only a fantasy, that she’s safe and can shut the app at any time. But she wants to follow him into the darkness. He’s become her only escape and her greatest pleasure—until he drags her from her home.

Alice wakes blindfolded and tied to a bed inside a Wonderland built around secrets, temptation, and games she never agreed to play. She needs to get back to her children, but her captor has no intention of letting her leave.

To survive, Alice must follow his rules. He feeds her by hand, punishes her with pleasure, and promises she’ll be free when he decides she’s ready. He awakens Alice’s darkest desires. And the farther she falls down his rabbit hole, the harder it becomes to remember whether she still wants to escape.

But according to the White Rabbit, she’s already late…

Check your triggers before you enter. The Rabbit Hole is a Villains of Kassel dark romance. Each interconnected standalone twists a different childhood tale into something wicked. Read them in any order. Trust none of them. These men aren’t princes. They’re the villains we’ve been taught to fear since we were little girls—and the ones who have always kept us up at night.

They call it a game. But games have rules, and mine were written in blood.

I was starving when I applied to The Feast of the Fallen—a twisted hunt where the world’s most elite billionaires pay millions to chase women like me through a gilded labyrinth until dawn.

One million dollars just to play. Two million if I'm caught.

I told myself I'd run, hide, and take the money–unharmed–so I could finally escape the poverty that's been choking me my entire life.

But I didn't count on him.

Jack Thorne, the phantom host, who built an empire from ash and blood, watched from the shadows while men hunted like monsters in a storm of his own creation. But when a reckless guest breaks his rules and goes too far, Jack steps out of the darkness, revealing himself as the most dangerous player of all–one who looks like a savior but will stop at nothing for revenge.

Jack doesn't negotiate with giants. He watches them gorge themselves on power until their true nature spills out. Then he brings the axe.
