Virtuous Lies

The tension between characters felt visceral and authentic, but balancing romance with the darker elements must have been tricky. I wonder what guided that creative choice.

The constant closeness created some intense moments, but I was curious if that was the goal from the start or something that developed during writing.

The gritty, dangerous atmosphere added so much to the story's mood. I’d love to know if the author based it on real places or created it entirely from imagination.
