Lose any one of the men and you lose the shape of the whole. Each relationship has to matter on its own terms — and it will. No interchangeable boys.
It’s always funny until someone loses a head… then it’s funnier.
Explicit. Intimate. Sometimes feral. Always consensual. The setting is dangerous; the intimacy is not. Knife play, breath play, praise, degradation — pick your flavor.
Our men kill people. Sometimes the women do too. Nobody redeems on schedule. Everyone gets interiority, vulnerability, the confession scene at 2am — and a soul-deep reason for what they’ve done.
Why choose means everyone is involved — including the men with each other. The romance isn’t a hub-and-spoke; it’s a constellation. They love her. They love each other. Everyone is invited.
We write dark on purpose and we list every reason out loud. Every book ships with its own content-warning sheet. The list is the gift, not the gate.
The Hangmen Trilogy is the launch — one woman, five men, the rope they tied together that they're not ready to call a noose. Read this first if you want the most intense, most intimate, most feral entry point.
Gods of Corruption follows the billionaires who fund the work — old money, new sin, couture and casualties. Read this if you want vigilante billionaires, gala dresses, and corruption arcs.
Clean Up Crew — also known as the Hanged Men, also known as the Murder Puppies. The men who do the work. This series is allowed to be funny. Banter, devotion, tattooed everything, soft for her.

} {book.whyChoose &&This book is a why-choose romance — the heroine ends the series with multiple partners, and romantic / sexual scenes include more than two people. If any of the above are triggering for you, please prioritize your wellbeing.
}Eve Riche writes adult dark romance intended for readers 18+. It contains on-page depictions of subject matter that some readers may find distressing. Please read with care.
We write dark romance that is actually dark. Not aestheticized darkness where everyone’s hot and brooding and nobody does anything morally reprehensible. Our men kill people. Sometimes the women do too. The on-page intimacy is enthusiastic; the on-page violence is not. Every book has its own content-warning sheet, read below for more information.
