A Worthy Opponent
by Katee Robert
Book 3 in Wicked Villains
Peter Pan retelling where Hook is the emotionally available one and Tink gets to set the safeword. The kink is on-page and aftercare-coded, the trauma plot lands, and the throuple/open dynamic with Beast and Mary doesn't feel tacked on - it's the point.
