Almost Us dark romance novel by Jenni Chris

Almost Us

SEVEN
I'm an enforcer. I break bones for money and follow orders without question. There's no forgiving the things I've done and the people I've hurt along the way.

I had a family once. A life that mattered. It was my fault I lost them both.

The night I met her, I was done. Done with the guilt. Done with the emptiness. Done with everything. I had a plan—a bottle, a bullet, and then nothing.

But then she was there, and I had to decide: step in or walk away.

I couldn't walk away.

She ended up saving my life that night.

MOLLY
I've been running for years. From my past. From the truth.

I've always done what needed to be done. I learned early to be what people expected—the woman who knows her place.

Even now my life isn't really mine.

I was looking for one night of normal. A chance to try to forget my past for a few hours. Instead, I ended up in the last place I ever should've been.

But then there he was. I expected him to turn around and walk away.

He saved my life that night.

Seven and Molly are two broken people with nothing left to lose carrying secrets that could destroy them both. What starts as a chance encounter on a train platform becomes something neither of them can walk away from—no matter the cost.

Almost Us is a high-stakes, emotional dark romance about survival, betrayal, and two people finding something worth risking everything for. This is book one of the Almost duology.


Beautiful Scars is the debut dark romance duology from Jenni Chris.

The Beautiful Scars Duology



Hi, I'm Jenni Chris.

I write dark, emotionally charged stories for readers who aren't afraid of the complicated parts — love wrapped in scars, characters who bleed on the page, and the kind of psychological depth that stays with you long after the last page.

My characters are messy, flawed, raw — and real. They break. But they always fight to put themselves back together, piece by jagged piece.

My characters explore brutal space between wanting and having, pain and forgiveness, the wound and the healing.

If you've ever been drawn to the darker corners of fiction — where the pain is real, the healing is earned, and nothing is ever simple — you'll feel at home here.

When I'm not writing, you'll find me enjoying quiet moments, wrestling my TBR list, or soaking in the wild stillness of the western mountains I call home.
