Sinful Vows

The tension between the characters felt so palpable, but I wonder how much was planned versus evolved during writing. Did the enemies-to-lovers arc come naturally or was it a conscious choice to heighten the drama?

The way the characters are forced together creates such a charged atmosphere, but I found myself wondering if this setup might get exhausting for some readers. How do others interpret the balance between intimacy and tension here?

The gritty world-building really immerses the reader, but I’m curious whether the author drew from personal experiences or research to craft this dangerous backdrop.
