That Sik Luv

Standalone

Jescie Hall

Briony Strait has been raised to obey a brutal religious system that treats purity as power. Aero is the masked man sent to destroy her — until stalking her, corrupting her certainty, and exposing the people who shaped her become inseparable.

Frequent and escalating, with the heat intensifying alongside the stalking, religious control, and shifting power imbalance.

  • wants religious control and purity culture treated as core story material
  • likes masked MMC obsession with real menace
  • wants corruption arcs without a neat moral reset
