He's an undercover cop investigating her for murder; she's a femme fatale enacting her revenge. Neither of them ever predicted it would lead to love. Season 1 of My Girlfriend: The Serial Killer *** The plan was simple. Lure a billionaire, con him into proposing to gain access to his assets, and then kill him. Never fall in love. Serena Wolfe had successfully managed to scheme her unsuspecting victims until Landon Michaels entered the picture. Employed as an NYPD homicide detective, he was assigned to Serena's case after her former fiancé went missing. The plan was simple. Go undercover disguised as a billionaire, sweep Serena off her feet in a staged steamy romance and then catch her in the act. It was to be the case that would cement Landon's career and put him in the books as a legend in his field. Both their plans should have been simple except they forgot to account for one thing: their undeniable and sizzling attraction towards one another. Now, they must both decide between what's more important, their love or their deceit.

"Do you want me to live?" I choke the words out, nearly a sob, head pounding. Maven steps into my cell and this time I do not move away. I stay in my place on the cold ground, waiting to see how he responds. He stops right in front of me, crouching down. He puts a hand out to push the hair out of my face and I let him. He is oddly gentle and an unreadable expression takes over his face. "Of course I do," he finally says, an inkling of pain on his pale face. "And I can have you live." This is my take on what would have happened if Mare chose Maven in the Bowl of Bones.
