Books like The Ringmaster

Step into the tent and you may never leave. Kathryn Ann Kingsley gives The Ringmaster a morally grey hero ruling over a dark romantasy circus, with enemies to lovers keeping every scene off balance. No bulb left burning in the tent, and every intimate act is shown. Eerie, theatrical and properly unsettling. Perfect if creepy carnivals are your weakness. Warnings strongly advised.
