Life hasn't been easy for Beatrice "Birdie" Harper. Every man she's known has let her down. Her father was no exception. She spent years struggling to distance herself from the monster who raised her. His betrayal catapulted her onto a path to discover if evil is born or created - nature versus nurture. And ultimately, if her struggle to be a good person will be in vain.
Navigating life as an adult has become a gauntlet of lies and infidelity. When all hope for a normal existence seems lost, Birdie meets the man of her dreams - sexy, charismatic, and covered in tattoos.
But figuring out which secrets to expose and which to bury will be the difference between Birdie finally getting her happily ever after or paying the ultimate price.

Upon turning eighteen, Mallory Carter is thrust into an arranged marriage with a man she passionately despises. After enduring months of emotional abuse, she decides to run away in pursuit of a fresh start. But fate takes an abrupt turn a couple years later when she captures the eyes of Hunter Sionis, an affluent businessman who develops a sinister obsession with her. Forcing their proximity, Hunter hires her as a live-in a nanny when she finds herself in a financial struggle, leading to a professional relationship that becomes something deeper. Little did Mallory know of the demons that hid behind Hunter's ocean eyes or his twisted game that she unknowingly became a part of until it's too late. She belonged to him, only him. She was Hunter's Prey. ─────────────────────────────── I fail to suppress the whimper that manages to escape my lips. "So scared," he whispers. "Yet so fucking wet." "I...I'm not wet..." He leans in, the tip of his nose trailing along the side of my face as his grip around my throat tightens and he lifts me off the mattress by my neck. He slides his free hand into my panties, depositing two fingers into my core. The coolness of his rings prompts a loud moan from me before he pulls them out. "Liar," he growls, glossing the seams of my lips with my own arousal. "Now, open your mouth, bambi." ⚠ TW: This book is a dark romance containing mature themes such as graphic violence, murder, mentions of abuse & self-harm, strong language, age-gap relationship and explicit sexual themes.
