Featuring mature themes, moral dilemmas, and a chilling descent into madness, this story explores how far one will go for love, power, and the intoxicating allure of control. As the killings escalate, and trust erodes, one question lingers-who is truly the hunter, and who is the hunted?

Dangerous Attraction by JjWilliams2

Miles Davis, a proud New Orleans native, once had dreams of going pro as a star athlete. But when that path didn't pan out, he built a solid life for himself in Houston as a trusted private security guard-protecting celebrities, local business owners, and even a prominent hospital. He married his high school sweetheart, Lisa, right after graduation. Nearly a decade later, with a child and bills to match, the spark that once defined their love is dimming. Late hours and heavy workloads weigh on their marriage, leaving Lisa feeling neglected and Miles torn between duty and home. When Miles meets Alexa, a striking new nurse at the hospital, he's immediately drawn in. At first, it seems harmless-just a colleague, just small talk. But Alexa is more than what she appears to be, and soon Miles finds himself caught in something far more dangerous than temptation. Will this be the beginning of a professional friendship? A fleeting distraction from the pressures of marriage? Or will it spiral into something darker... a Dangerous Attraction?

BROKEN VOWS (Lucas & Emilia Book 1) by ArianaClarkAuthor

Choosing her cost me everything I'd ever loved... including her. It's why I left the small town where I grew up and vowed never to return. I'm no longer the "golden boy with a bright future" they all remember. Instead, I carry the scars of a tortured past. A broken man deemed unfit, even by the Navy SEALs he'd dedicated the past decade to serve. What was supposed to be a quick trip to sell my parents' property turned into this twisted journey that forced me to confront my demons. And then there she was. My first love, and deepest regret. The woman who still owns every piece of my blackened heart. When she asked for my time, I couldn't refuse. Now I can't walk away. Not after hearing of the danger her husband, a missing FBI agent, has brought to her doorstep. After everything, I owe her my help. It's why I offer to protect her and her two little girls from the danger circling them. It's a vow I never should have made, given the trail of bodies I've left in my wake. Like the harbinger of death, I'm the last man either of us should trust. In the Broken Redemption Series, one man's vow to protect the woman he lost becomes a battle between redemption, forgiveness, and the kind of love that refuses to let go. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Lucas & Emilia's story begins here: Book 1 of their Broken Redemption arc. Each couple's love story in the Broken Redemption Series is told over multiple books and forms a complete arc within this collection of connected romances set in the small town of Ruby Creek.

Lucas & Emilia are the first couple, followed by James & Annelly, whose story begins with Broken Misery (Broken Redemption Series - Book 1 of their arc).

They have no choice but to acknowledge they have to stay away before one of them gets hurt. Which is exactly what happens. This causes another encounter between the two, but this time with a promise of safety and security, because he owes her his life. *** "I say what I mean, and I do what I say." He assured in a low rumbling voice that had her transported back to older times. "And when I say I will keep you safe, believe me, that not even a hair on your head will be touched."
