Kings of Belfast

Content warnings for Sightline

This is a deep, dark romance with a morally black hero and a guaranteed happily-ever-after. He is dangerous to everyone but safe for her specifically; he never crosses into hurting the heroine. If the following are not for you, please read with care.

• Graphic violence and on-page death (shootings, a fatal beating witnessed, gangland punishment violence including maiming)
• Organised crime, paramilitary-legacy criminal violence, kidnapping and captivity
• A captor/captive dynamic and significant power imbalance (sexual content is consensual on the page; intense, possessive power exchange)
• Murder of a teenager (off the page in close aftermath) and the killing of young men; grief, an Irish wake and funeral
• Childhood abuse and trauma (a parent burning a child as “discipline,” shown in memory)
• Fire/burns, firearms, threats, intimidation, blood
• Explicit sexual content (5/5), including rough and dominance-coded scenes
• Belfast’s sectarian-conflict legacy as criminal backdrop (handled as organised crime, not endorsement)

Please make sure to take care of your mental health.
