They called her the nutcracker. Go on, get your laughs in. I sure did the first time I heard it. But that was her nickname. The quack with the pretty eyes and the distant stare. And they weren’t wrong. Dr. Olivia Winters went around cracking all us nuts. In some form or another. Figuring out what made us tick or breaking us so hard it didn’t matter anymore. Not today, though. Today she was the one who was under the microscope, and I was the guy sitting across from her, just waiting to see which one of us would crack first. Nutcracker is a dark standalone novella and a spin-off of The Renegades Series. The focus is dark romance so please heed the trigger warnings at the beginning of every book.
