My ideal is a book which follows a prostitute or slave wrapped up in a criminal underworld, who then uses her position to take advantage, blackmail, trade secrets, homewreck, maybe take a little vengeance, maybe escape, maybe become what she hated. Bonus points if she's Russian or something like that.
In movie terms, I'm thinking Saltburn, Eyes Wide Shut, and 8mm meets the Godfather, but with a female MC.
The more dark, hardcore, and erotic, the better. Violence, non-con, dark kinks, corruption, I want all of that. Basically nothing is too dark, but I would love a well-written story, and sympathetic characters or an overarching moral are not a bad thing either.

Six of Crows has a bit of that I think
