Desire and consequence sit close together in King of Sloth, Ana Huang's contemporary romance for readers who like their leads complicated.
The story works through ambition, temptation and the slow erosion of a carefully kept distance, with the layered character work Huang's readers expect and a pace that keeps turning pages. It forms part of the Kings of Sin sequence while standing on its own for anyone starting here, and it stays in the adult register that defines her list. Published by Little Brown.
What the book covers:
• Slow-burn attraction between characters with opposing instincts
• Ambition and personal cost treated as part of the romance
• Layered leads rather than straightforward archetypes
• A place in the Kings of Sin books without requiring prior volumes
Suited to contemporary romance readers and followers of Huang's earlier novels, published by Little Brown and stocked by Boipoka.
