"Hope makes you stupid, Mary. Don't hope for me."
Ray Ranaldo is a criminal psychologist who's made a career out of understanding monsters.
But when a new case forces him into a game of psychological cat-and-mouse with a killer who seems to know him too well, Ray discovers that the real danger isn't behind bars.
It's standing quietly beside him - in the form of Mary Whitmore, the one woman who sees past his armor, and the one weakness he can't afford.
As obsession tightens its grip and secrets claw to the surface, Ray will have to decide:
Will he protect Mary at all costs - or will the darkness he's chased for years finally pull him under?

DANGEROUS DEVOTION
When witnessing a murder puts a price on her head, Aria Cross becomes the target of the city's most dangerous crime family. But Vincent Romano doesn't send just anyone to eliminate her-he sends Dante Moreau, his most trusted enforcer and the man his own daughter loves. Dante's mission is simple: get close to Aria, gain her trust, then make her disappear. What should be just another job becomes an obsession when he discovers the broken, guarded woman behind the tough exterior. Aria has sworn off love after her last relationship nearly destroyed her, but Dante's patient pursuit slowly cracks the walls around her heart. As passion ignites between hunter and prey, Dante faces an impossible choice: complete his mission and lose the only woman who's ever made him feel alive, or betray the family that gave him everything and risk both their lives. But in the Romano family, betrayal has consequences. When Valentina Romano discovers her boyfriend's true feelings for his target, jealousy turns deadly. Now Dante and Aria are running for their lives with nowhere to hide and no one to trust-not even each other. Some secrets are worth killing for. Some love is worth dying for.

Her heart catches, and she feels an unexplainable pull toward him, as though fate itself had drawn their worlds together. She doesn't see the shadows he carries, the secrets buried deep within his silence. To her, he is mystery and allure, danger wrapped in beauty. What she doesn't yet know is that the man who just stole her breath is also the one hiding truths that could shatter her world. ------------------------------- Sylus was a man feared by many-an intimidating figure whose power and presence commanded every room he walked into. Cold, calculating, and untouchable, he built walls so high that no one dared to climb them. His life was one of control, where love had no place and vulnerability was a weakness he refused to show. But then she appeared. A young woman with a brightness that seemed to cut through his shadows, carrying warmth he didn't know he craved. Her laughter unsettled him, her kindness disarmed him, and her stubborn heart challenged the man who thought himself unchangeable. Where others saw only danger in him, she saw the pieces of someone worth saving. Against his instincts, he let her in. Slowly, she unraveled the darkness he carried, teaching him that love wasn't weakness-it was strength. And as she guided him onto a path he never thought he'd walk, he discovered that even the most powerful man can be humbled by the simplest truth: to be truly loved is to finally be free.Complete
