A Dangerous Dose of Love by Wynta Tyme

Derian Morales had been a successful pharmacist in his hometown of Panama for twelve years. Entirely submerged in his work, Derian established a cure for a disease too many lived with and not enough cared to demolish. After discovering his team wasn’t as solid as his remedy, Derian is forced to experience his foundation, his connections, and his freedom being snatched away simultaneously. 

Gaining motivation from the only friend who acknowledges him still being alive, Derian gets a job as a librarian and a new fondness for fiction is illuminated. One twisted romance suspense by author M.J. King, and the natural problem solver is sorting through ways to connect with the intricate source to dive deeper than the words on paper and beyond the walls he’s being wrongly placed behind.

Marlowe MJ King was born to write. Every slice of anxiety, passion, and even restlessness that came along with creating, she relished in. Firm on practicing independence, the thirty-year-old spent the majority of her time creating, however, the pleasure Marlowe’s work brought lacked the affection she’d started to feel was missing from her life. A slew of gratifying reviews from a long-time reviewer piques Marlowe’s interest, sending her on a trip to Panama and clutching her in the unconventional, stalker, lurking world she writes about.

Will Derian and Marlowe have the right words to write their way out of their own suspense story? Countless acts of sabotage and framework will surround them before the wolf in sheep’s clothing is revealed.
