Happy Pub Week to Lore! #indierelease #newrelease #HeAintMedicine

{2025 New Release} He Ain’t Medicine: But I Swallowed Him Anyway by: Lore

He Ain't Medicine is a dangerously seductive urban tale about trauma, lust, and the kind of love that feels more like withdrawal than romance. Semaj didn’t just want love, he wanted the high. The chaos. The sweet, twisted intimacy only mentally broken men could offer. After losing his mentally ill ex to suicide, he spent his nights chasing that same manic magic in all the wrong places.
