I didn't think my captor would be as maddening as he is captivating. He drags me back to the house I vowed never to return to. He wants answers, and if he needs to, he will rip them out of me.

Elena... Elena Lorraine never expected her midnight drive to end in twisted steel and shattered glass deep in the woods. Stranded and vulnerable, she finds herself pulled from the wreckage by a man who should have felt like a savior-yet he hides behind a skull mask and eyes that burn with something far more dangerous than mercy.

The woods become their prison, their sanctuary, and the battleground where hatred blurs into desire. When obsession turns to passion and passion into something neither can deny, Elena must decide if she can love the monster who stole her freedom or if she'll destroy him before he claims her completely.
