Jack is a master of charm, a devastatingly handsome man with an alluring smile and an intellect that captivates. But beneath his kind facade lies a ruthless killer, haunted by the traumas of his childhood. A master of seduction-devastatingly handsome, manipulative, intelligent, and deadly beneath the charm. Dubbed the "One Night Killer," he lures victims in with flirtation and false connection, only to end their lives before dawn. No one's ever survived a night with him. Until Sera Hale. Strong-willed and emotionally guarded, Sera is an off-duty cop with a sharp tongue and scars she doesn't show. When Jack approaches her at a bar, she turns him down, unaware of who he really is. But when their paths cross again, something sparks-dangerous, magnetic, and impossible to ignore. One kiss, and everything changes. Jack should've killed her. Instead, he becomes obsessed. She's the anomaly. The one that slipped through. What began as a need for revenge twists into a compulsion. He stalks her, studies her, haunts her steps. Because if he can't have her on his terms, no one can. Caught in the storm is Kian-a kind-eyed bartender with a calm strength that draws Sera in. He makes her feel safe, seen, wanted for more than just the mask she wears. Their chemistry burns slower, deeper, the kind that promises healing if she lets it. But Kian is hiding a secret-one that could shatter everything when the truth comes out. As the lines blur between predator and prey, desire and danger, Sera must decide how far she's willing to go to survive-and who she's willing to trust with her heart. Because one man wants to save her... And the other? Wants to ruin her, completely.

"We could just . . . *do it*, you know," he says now, teasingly. "Clear all that sexual tension up with one quick ten minute session?" I seriously hope he's joking, but I'm not certain he is. Either way, I can't prevent the exasperated huff of laughter that escapes my lips at those words. "You must be dreaming if you think there's *any* sexual tension between us," I scoff. "Anyway, I'd rather not be another notch on your bedpost, thanks very much." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Ruby Rafferty has won the ultimate prize - a luxury holiday in Crete! In theory, it couldn't be more perfect - endless sun, Greek food, an unlimited free bar . . . There's only one problem. The man she has no choice but to share the prize with. Lewis Sheridan may be ridiculously attractive, but he is also cocky, cynical, and comes complete with his own specific set of red flags. He's everything Ruby has never wanted in a guy, and she's not sure she can survive *one* day alone with him, let alone ten. It's *fine*, though . . . Their suite is massive, the cocktails are flowing, and Ruby can't help but notice how handsome and charming the hotel manager is. If only he didn't think she and Lewis were already a couple . . . Will forced proximity push our vacationers closer or further apart? Can enemies really become lovers? And what will happen if anyone realises they're technically on holiday under false pretences? I guess we're about to find out . . . Cover by @jspromcoms
