Lily Gallo knows killers. She should, after all, because serial killers are her specialty. Sheβs the daughter of a notorious serial killer, and sheβs made it her lifeβs work to study the brutal predators.Β And, recently, sheβs been researching the offspring of serials. Sheβs looking for others who are just like she is. Her research has brought her into the life of reclusive billionaire Atlas Bennett.Β Heβd refused her repeated requests for a meeting. Sheβd suspected he might be following in his fatherβs brutal footsteps. But nowβ¦
Theyβre both trapped, and they have to rely on each other for survival.
Atlas canβt believe it when he wakes up handcuffed to the beautiful and infuriating Lily. The woman thinks heβs as savage as his twisted father, but she has no clue what dark secrets he really holds. For the moment, though, escape is their priority.Β But once they get out of that hell, Lily will be his. Β Heβd warned her to stay away. Now, itβs too late. Her fate is sealed.
A killer is after them both. To survive, they have to trust each other. They also have to stay very, very close to one anotherβ¦
Atlas knows that his reaction to Lily isnβt normal. The lust he feels is too strong, too consuming, but she calls to the primitive darkness within Atlas that heβs tried to hide from the rest of the world.Β Heβs going to need that darkness because a killer is hunting himβ¦and Lily. A predator who is intent on taking out the children of serial killers. Innocence and guilt doesnβt matter. Only survival does. The killer has uncovered Lilyβs research, and heβs using it to track his prey. As each day passes, heβs also growing increasingly obsessed with Lily.
Being prey wasnβt on her agenda.
Lilyβs mother is the most infamous female serial killer of modern times, and her mother passed on more than a few of her dangerous traits to Lily. Lily has no intention of being some helpless victim, but she will trap the killer who is on her trail. Sheβll also stick close to Atlas because she knows he holds plenty of secrets. Fair enough. Sheβs got secrets, too. Atlas stirs a part of her that she has tried to fight her entire life. Wild, forbidden, and dangerous, he is a lover she canβt resist. He may just be the perfect partner for herβ¦unless, of course, she turns out to be dead wrong about him.
Because some people carry darkness, some people carry sinsβ¦and there are some monsters that you never see coming, not until itβs far too late.
Authorβs Note:Β Danger, serious steam, and two lovers who share a passion that will obliterate everything elseβ¦Heβs possessive, dangerous, and willing to kill. Sheβs methodical, controlled, and fighting to hide her true self.Β When they come together, their worlds will shift, their lust will consume them, and they will either be the perfect teamβ¦or the most diabolical couple to walk the earth. Ah, fun times are ahead.Β Β
