Subtitle: The Ultimate Ruthless Dreams
Description: T.U.R.D.: The Ultimate Ruthless Dreams by Sloane Darkwood is a dark, emotionally charged tale of obsession, love, and redemption. Alfredo, an 18-year-old Italian student, is haunted by an unrelenting fixation on Jesse, a 25-year-old accomplished swimmer and campus star. Their complex dynamic unfolds as Alfredo’s unreciprocated feelings for Jesse spiral into an unhealthy obsession, disrupting both their lives.

Jesse, a Black man with a magnetic personality and an enviable talent for athletics, is everything Alfredo is not—confident, driven, and emotionally stable. While Jesse seeks a peaceful, purpose-filled life, Alfredo’s longing transforms into a toxic fixation, blurring the line between admiration and control.
