I yelled but before I could breathe in I was pinned to the wall. I gasped. Staring into his dark blue eyes made every bone of my body weak. He smirked, knowing exactly what he did. "You got too comfortable with me, doll but I didn't show you what Ace can really do." He mumbled. He broke the eye contact we were having and leaned closer to my neck. My heart beat was racing his and each breath he took sent electricity all over my body. I bit my tongue, scared of what my brain could make me say. "And I don't think you want to know," he whispered so close to my ear sending shivers down my spine. I took a deep breath, trying to collect my thoughts. He moved back to stare into my eyes, wanting to see his effect on me but I didn't give it to him. I smirked, pushed my chin down and looked up at him. "You're all talk, Ace," I whispered, not even blinking. I saw the gulp that rose in his throat, growing my smirk.

(Book #4 in the series) (Can be read as a stand-alone) HER A mystery. So very complicated. An enigma. A puzzle with so many missing pieces. Add one of the above ingredients into my plate and call me intrigued. Enter him. He is all of them and more...much more. He claims to be a monster. He doesn't believe in redemption. He is too vague and too dark for me to read. But it's my job now. To help him, figure him out, to find all of his missing pieces, arrange them together and finally obtain the final picture. It's my job, to find his deepest darkest secret. It's my job, to unravel the beast he claims to be and finally see the man behind. HIM Lost. I've been lost for way too many years. I thought it was over. I wanted it to be over. I had nothing to live for anymore. I've killed, I've destroyed and obliterated. It was enough. My role in the story should've ended there. I was too big of a monster to be tamed. Too dangerous to be kept alive. Enter her. Too loud. Too obnoxious. Too naive. Innocent, so very innocent. So intent on aiding me, redeeming me. She is unaware, she is opening a door that was shut down with a broken lock. I am scared. Terrified even. She is too white against my inner darkness. Too pure to be tangled with the devil living within me. We don't mix. We should never mix. Instead of pulling me out of that room, she might just get herself stuck inside as well. She wants to unravel the beast and meet the man behind, but I am scared that if she succeeded, she'll find nothing behind.

In a world where unnatural anomalies are concealed and studied by an elite cabal hidden in the shadows, take a step into the shoes of the Unusual Incidents Unit. They are the butt of endless jokes, the runt of the litter, fighting for scraps amongst sister organizations, the ones who actually get all the funding. Yet an incompetent government does not mean incompetent employees. Such is the case with UIU Special Agents Kitty De La Cruz and Raymond Andrew, who've found themselves in the midst of an ancient evil's wrath, one that wants nothing but fresh blood. When a strange new strain of cocaine called "Quick Death" starts flooding the criminal underworld of El Paso, all hell breaks loose as its users start to commit heinous acts of violence. Blood-sucking drug fiends are the least of Kitty and Raymond's worries as their relationship unfolds and deepens, all while the ever-watchful eye of the Foundation judges their every action. It's a dog-eat-dog world in the SCP Universe, and it seems that two Feds have found themselves alone in the fight. Yet in their loneliness are they united, together.
