Wrecked Series by Melissa McSherry, Dana LeeAnn

He is my predator, and I am his prey. Tonight, he is starving for a taste of what’s his. It was Halloween, my favorite time of the year. I had my dream job as a tattoo artist, a loyal best friend, and an ex who happily tended to my needs without complicating our arrangement with feelings. Everything was going great until Devil’s Night when the masked man watched me from the shadows like a predator stalking his next meal, and that’s what I was: his prey... moreHe is my predator, and I am his prey. Tonight, he is starving for a taste of what’s his. It was Halloween, my favorite time of the year. I had my dream job as a tattoo artist, a loyal best friend, and an ex who happily tended to my needs without complicating our arrangement with feelings. Everything was going great until Devil’s Night when the masked man watched me from the shadows like a predator stalking his next meal, and that’s what I was: his prey. Like any natural-born predator, he was bloodthirsty, staking his claim to me before I could see the face behind his mask. He wasn’t afraid to kill for a bite of what he craved, even if it meant shedding the blood of those closest to me. Once he had a taste, he hungered for more, and the more he needed it, the more I wanted to give it to him. less

I watch the monster, learning his ways. Tonight, I will cave, succumbing to darkness. The moment I saw her in that café, I knew Cara was mine. She can deny it all she wants, but I saw the way her body betrayed her, felt the way her pulse quickened. She craves me, even if she won’t admit it. Now, my girl is right where she belongs—under my control. She thinks she can resist me, and fight against what we both know is inevitable, but I’ll never let her go... moreI watch the monster, learning his ways. Tonight, I will cave, succumbing to darkness.

She thinks she can resist me, and fight against what we both know is inevitable, but I’ll never let her go. I’ll break her down, strip away every last defense until there’s nothing left but her sweet goddamn surrender. She’s my obsession, my possession, my little fucking nightmare—and soon, she’ll know there’s no escaping me. Not ever.

This novella can be read as a standalone. He is my hunter in this twisted game. I am his prize, and he’s hungry to claim me. This Christmas was supposed to be special, but without my best friend by my side, it feels like a cruel joke. I thought spending the holidays with my boyfriend’s family would fill the void, but after a fight that escalated too far, I was ready to pack my shit and leave. Until I woke up on Christmas Eve morning to a surprise─a pretty black box holding the key to his family's church, complete with instructions for a game he’s set up for us to play. The rules are. 1: If he catches me once, he gets to eat me. 2: If he catches me twice, I have to suck him. 3: If he catches me a third time, he gets to fuck me. 4: If he catches me all three times AND beats me to the church, nothing is off limits.

"You were never meant to be his, my sweet doe. " My voice is soft, and the words come out like a caress. "You were always meant to be mine. "Christmas was supposed to be magic. Instead, I ended it breathless, ruined, and staring into the eyes of the wrong man. Not my boyfriend. His brother. What started as a twisted game became my prison. He took me deep into the mountains, hiding me from everything I’ve ever known. I should have hated him. I should have fought harder to escape... more"You were never meant to be his, my sweet doe. " My voice is soft, and the words come out like a caress. "You were always meant to be mine. "Christmas was supposed to be magic. Instead, I ended it breathless, ruined, and staring into the eyes of the wrong man. Not my boyfriend. His brother. What started as a twisted game became my prison. He took me deep into the mountains, hiding me from everything I’ve ever known. I should have hated him. I should have fought harder to escape. But somewhere between his cruel ways and gentle caresses, the lines blurred. I began to crave the very hands that held me captive. When we used flames as a distraction I knew there was no going back. He pulled me with him, and we disappeared before they could find us. Now we're running. From the law, from our families, from the wreckage of who we used to be. He says it's us against the world, and God help me, I believe him. Because when you've been broken down and built back up in such dark ways, freedom becomes a foreign concept. And the most terrifying part? I don't want to be free. Sweet Doe is the 4th book in the Wrecked series, and the second book in Sloan's duet. It's strongly recommended you read Slaying for Sloan prior to reading this book. less
