Touch Her and Die

The ultimate list where our love interest goes full protective mode and suddenly says “touch her and die” or “do not lay a hand/finger on her” or some version of either.

All spice levels listed. As this is a microtrope, it may not be a big part of the plot. Recs welcome!

there’s quite a few MM books in here, could the title maybe be revised? 🤞

This is a good callout! I didn’t look closely enough at some of the titles I pulled. I want to keep this list true to the “touch her and die” trope but I definitely think another list for “touch him and die” could be made for exclusively MM!
