There is a scene involving sake and bodily fluids in chapter 5. Other than that, I can't think of much. Even though there are highly detailed depictions of porn stars doing their job, I tried to make it as liberating and respectful as possible. Everyone is very enthusiastic, safe words are discussed, there is some spanking and choking but it's all consensual. The only thing that caused me, the author, to pause was that the heroin goes on a date with the hero and lets him drive her, thus being her only means of transportation.

THERE ARE SPOILERS. I don't like giving spoilers in the content warnings, but if you made it this far, it's probably imporant to you. The romance in this book is actually on the sweet side. It is fast burn, and a little insta-love-y. However, the female main character is fresh out of a break up from a relationship that she does not view as abusive. If you are an omega, raised in a "traditional" pack and are brought up to believe that it is your role to serve your alpha, when you find yourself in that kind of relationship you may not see "bad" things as abusive. She is in the process of leaving that relationship and does not see red flags as red flags. However, the men around her do and act accordingly. Violations of consent and financial abuse are discussed. And you will see her, on page, regress back into conditioned behavior. One of the male characters experienced significant childhood abuse, and deals with panic attacks and CPTSD symptoms and is in a little bit of denial about it. He has on page panic attacks. His past abuse is discussed but not explored in vivid detail. Below is the trigger warning statement that I will use in marketing but I felt the above needed additional context. "This book has discussions of grooming and assault, including a character whose core belief system does not contextualize those events as unacceptable. There are discussions about events in the recent past that include violations of consent and financial abuse. Childhood abuse and how that affects the character as an adult is discussed and includes on page panic attacks and flashbacks. There is also a fair bit of gender discrimination towards both the female omega and especially the male omega. Power exchange dynamics are discussed. There is also blackmail and gambling on page."
