#hes the only homocide detective with an office b/c he annoyed everyone else until he had to be forcibly seperated

I have complained often and loudly about how much I hate 'serial killer who only kills other killers/bad guys' romance novels but on god I found a good one??? And I think it's b/c they made this man so fucking pathetic I'm utterly obsessed with him

he's in love with his cop partner. he talks about other people like he's not human. he has a tragic backstory. he collects fingerprints (related to the aforementioned tragedy) of the people he's killed. he's often called himself and had the narrative refer to him as a dog on a chain b/c his bf asked him not to kill and he went 🥺 is that negotiable? no? okay ...😔 He likes to psychologically torture and blackmail his coworkers but they still love him anyways. when his bf pointed out that he was making friends he was so disgusted he thought about killing them. in order to hide from meeting his bfs parents for the first time he laid down on an autopsy table and asked the mortician (one of his accidental friends who enjoys torturing him back) to push him into the body fridge. when the mortician said that if he did he'd probably leave him there over night, Liam seriously considered doing it. on multiple occasions he has kneeled and wrapped his arms around his bfs legs while either a) having a breakdown, b) a dramatic moment worthy of any oscar, or c) both. He took a bullet for his bf. one time he laid down on the ground in the middle of nowhere b/c he had kidnapped a serial rapist and stuffed him in his trunk cause he was in a bad mood but then called his bf cause he felt guilty about potentially breaking his promise not to kill. and when his bf showed up scared shitless when he saw Liam on the ground, Liam casually asked if he wanted to stargaze while beside him his car rocked violently due to the man locked in the trunk. bf was not amused. Liam bought said bf an entire house after just a month of dating. He hates cats but adopted one b/c it made his bf happy. He will declare he will or won't do something, take one look at bfs upset face, and declare .3 seconds later to do the exact opposite and pretend he never had the first idea at all.
