But in a world where the truth doesn't matter, silence becomes safer. Sometimes it all starts with a news story. And ends with you no longer knowing who to trust.Lengkap
The Killer's Darling: If Loving Her Was a Crime
In the fog-drenched town of Mystic, Connecticut, shadows hide more than secrets--they hide her. Detective Sophie "Iris" Scott has made a name for herself solving the cases that others can't. Calm under pressure and driven by instinct, she's the kind of detective who follows the evidence, no matter how dark it gets. But when a string of ritualistic murders rocks the small coastal town, Iris finds herself up against a killer who seems to know her every move... and every fear. Enter Dr. Madison "Maddie" Cole, the department's newest forensic psychologist. Brilliant, composed, and disarmingly charming, she was brought in to profile the killer haunting Mystic's streets. What no one knows is that Maddie isn't studying the murderer--she is the murderer. By day, Maddie works beside Iris, analyzing the mind of a phantom she herself created. By night, she watches the detective from the shadows, torn between obsession and something far more dangerous: affection. As their partnership deepens, so does their connection--an intoxicating blend of suspention, trust, and forbidden desire. Iris senses something is off about the woman she's come to rely on, while Maddie struggles to keep secrets buried before love turns lethal. But in Mystic, nothing stays hidden forever. And when the truth surfaces, only one question will matter--what's stronger: justice... or love?

One is authoritative. One is headstrong. Each holding a story of their own and both trying to read each other. She has secrets that when break out would tarnish his respect and question his authority while he has rivals who when succeed would shove her back into her terrifying past. When love becomes a double edged sword, with danger lurking right around the corner, can the ignited flames of curiosity break the shackles of their past and melt the ice walls surrounding their heart? Ride along the melancholically beautiful journey of two souls in their pursuit of a home!
