Hi, I’m new to this forum, looking for a book rec!

Looking for book recs with a very specific vibe, but I’m also open to anything similar because I’m kind of in a mood and don’t fully know what I want 😛

• VERY spicy… like 5/5 🌶️ (the more tension and payoff, the better)

• Boss/assistant trope, but no age gap—I want them on equal footing age-wise

• He’s more of a morally gray / “bad guy” type (possessive, intense, maybe a little unhinged), while she’s more innocent or softer

• I like a strong power dynamic, maybe some CNC and well-written

• Maybe some BDSM elements and maybe some CNC

Bonus points for:

• Good plot alongside the spice

• Slow burn with lots of tension

• Jealous/protective moments

• Well-developed characters and chemistry

Honestly open to anything that fits even part of this vibe—drop your best recs please 🙏
