Description
From Monty Jay comes a haunting dark romance where obsession blurs into love, and darkness recognises its own.
Death marked her long before she understood what it meant. Shaped by a past she's kept buried, she's spent her life hiding the truth of what lives inside her-something twisted, something dangerous.
Something deadly.
Until he sees her.
Thatcher Alexander Pierson is as captivating as he is unsettling-sharp, calculating, and born from a legacy tainted by violence. Beneath his polished exterior lies something far darker, and when their paths collide, an unspoken connection takes hold.
She becomes his fixation.
He becomes her addiction.
But what binds them isn't innocence-it's the darkness they both carry.
When a copycat killer emerges in Ponderosa Springs, the fragile balance they've built begins to crack. As suspicion grows and past actions threaten to catch up with them, they are forced into an uneasy alliance-one that exposes their secrets, their desires, and the truth neither of them can escape.
Because this isn't just about survival.
It's about obsession.
As danger closes in and their connection deepens, the line between love and destruction begins to disappear. And in a town where violence breeds more violence, one question remains-
Can something so dark ever truly be called love?

Person
Monty Jay is a dark romance author with titles published in multiple countries. Their books are for hopeless romantics with wicked hearts looking for their next morally grey hero. They call the Appalachian mountains home, along with their two furry friends, Poe and Maeve. When they aren't writing you can find them reading anything Stephen King, in a tattoo chair, or binging a new true crime documentary.
