SPECIAL Dark MM romance
Raven Hethens Miller never belonged in the world he was born into. Raised by wealthy, controlling parents who demanded he follow in their footsteps, he rejected their life of power and privilege for something far darker-crime, chaos, and the adrenaline rush of solving murders.
When he finally cuts ties and moves into an abandoned, modern-built house on the outskirts of the city, he expects nothing but silence and solitude. But instead, he finds something watching him.
Every night. Every step. Every moment alone.
A black rose appears at his doorstep, and everywhere, delicate yet haunting. A message. A warning. A claim.
Raven isn't afraid-he's too arrogant to be afraid. But as the shadows stretch behind him and the eerie feeling coils tighter, he knows this isn't just paranoia. Someone is there. Lurking. Waiting.
And he's always being watched.
The beast has been hidden in the darkness for years. A ghost in the underworld. A beast in the shadows. A man who built an empire of blood and vengeance. The house Raven moved into? It was never abandoned. It was his.
And now, so is Raven.
No matter how much the detective resists, no matter how many clues he pieces together, there's one truth he can't escape:
He doesn't just want him. He owns him.
Down-on-her-luck Aubrey gets the job offer of a lifetime, with one catch: her ex-husband is her new boss.
***
Aubrey Whitlock's life is turned upside down after her divorce, leaving her an unemployed, broke, and single 29-year-old. A chance meeting with her ex throws her for a loop again when he makes her an offer: come work with him as his assistant. Now a self-made billionaire, Bryce Roberts is just as infuriating-and good-looking-as he was the first time around.
Their marriage was disastrous, but their chemistry is stronger than ever.
Will they ever mend their relationship, or will it be nothing more than a heated game of seduction? And what will happen when Bryce discovers the secrets Aubrey has been keeping from him after all this time?
