The Losers series by Harley Laroux is a polyamorous bisexual dark romance between Jessica, a former prom queen and cheer captain, and four men she once tormented in high school: Manson, Jason, Lucas, and Vincent. The Dare, a novella published in 2021, sets up the dynamic between Jessica and Manson after she loses a drinking game and must serve as his slave for the night. The main story picks up years later in the Losers duet, published across 2022, when their paths cross again.
The series stands out for its unflinching approach to kink and group dynamics. Jessica’s journey from the popular girl who bullied the outcasts to someone who has to face what she did and earn their trust gives the story more emotional weight than the premise might suggest. Laroux handles the polyamorous relationship with care, showing how each of the five characters relates to the others individually and as a group. Content warnings apply throughout, as Laroux does not shy away from explicit scenes or dark subject matter.
