Check out my new book, The Root of My Evil!
Out now!
For Vincent Carlyle, she was his only quiet sanctuary - a creature of moonlight who loved his rough hands because she believed they only knew how to hold her.
For a brief, beautiful time, he allowed himself to believe he could survive in her warm light.
But a monster cannot live in a sanctuary forever.
When the violent shadows of his past shatter their peaceful reality on a freezing October night, Vincent does the only thing he knows how to do to protect her: he becomes a weapon once more.
Staring at the violence he committed in her name, Vincent doesn't find thrill - he finds horror.
He doesn't want to be a monster, but the dark instinct to shield her is completely out of his control.
Leaving himself kneeling in handcuffs on the wet asphalt, Vincent sacrifices his freedom so she can stay pure.
Yet, locked in a freezing cell and stripped of her scent of coffee and rain, his sacrifice is only beginning.
A terrifying new door is opening in the underground. To keep the love of his life safe from afar - even if it means letting her believe he is nothing but a criminal - he must fully surrender to the nightmare he tried to bury.
He will let the world break him, as long as she stays whole.
