The story
Blurb
I BURIED THE TRUTH. HE CAME TO DIG IT UP.
After my fiancé was murdered, I buried my heart with him.
My world became a hunt. I was the predator.
Thomas Reed walked into my life pretending to be a friend.
He was another war I wasn’t prepared to fight.
He challenged my rage with a silent darkness of his own.
He’s a sin I shouldn’t want. A poison I’m starting to crave.
He pushes me, tests me, and watches me like he wants to own the chaos I’ve become.
I’m falling for the man who promises to protect me.
But what if he’s the one I need protection from?
