Description
The Tangle of Awful follows eighteen-year-old Aubrey as she returns to Park Mountain after being kicked out by her father and discovering her mother, Neena, has vanished. The Park family’s polished image—anchored by stepfather Hugo Park’s attorney-general campaign—begins to crack when Aubrey’s stepbrother Spencer, her longtime enemy, seems determined to drive her out before she exposes whatever happened to Neena.
But Park Mountain is more than cold luxury and quiet gossip. Aubrey is stalked, publicly humiliated, and terrorized with escalating attacks that pull Hugo and Spencer into her orbit—first as protectors, then as temptations, and finally as partners in a twisted, taboo “why choose” relationship. As the danger sharpens into kidnapping and violence, long-buried secrets about Neena’s disappearance surface, forcing the Parks to choose between reputation and survival—and ending in an HEA that locks the trio together, no matter how awful the world thinks it is.
Who Should Listen
- Listeners who enjoy steamy age-gap, enemies-to-lovers romance with a “why choose” (MFM) dynamic and high taboo tension.
- Listeners who like romantic suspense elements: stalking, threats, escalating danger, and family secrets.
- Listeners comfortable with darker themes and trigger content (bullying, stalking, sexual assault themes), seeking an HEA/HFN payoff.
