Shattered

Book excerpt: Curiosity transforms into carnal obsession; my little lamb knows she's being hunted. I've been analyzing Melissa. Studying her. Obsessing over her every move. She framed me for a murder that, for once, I didn't commit; she did. Melissa was simply defending her friend, but that doesn't matter. I hunt abusive monsters, those who think they're untouchable. Who would I be if I don't teach Melissa exactly why I punish? I'll return the favor, pinning all of my murders on her, or I'll kill her. But she is such a curious little creature. She stares into my mask, but she doesn't see danger: she sees freedom. We both understand primal lust for what it truly is. But my love is brutal. I control. I take. I'll force her into submission. Melissa will learn that desire wins over life every time. Author's Note: Shattered is a full-length standalone book in the dark romance series, The Dahlia District.
