She took my brother from me, so I will take everything from her. Scarlett Sharpe conspired with her father to murder my brother in cold blood. She thought she’d get away with it. She thought wrong. In the dead of night, I steal her away from the life she knew, shackling her in a cell built for pain and vengeance. Each day, I devise new ways to break her down one sliver at a time. Make her beg for mercy, only to deliver none…. But then, new evidence surfaces, and everything changes. Scarlett’s innocent—she’s just a pawn in someone else’s twisted game. Now, I’m left with two options; get rid of her for good… or claim her as mine. Scarlett. Guilty until proven innocent…. I’ve been beholden to cruel men for my entire life. First, my father, and now, the monster who took me captive and dumped me in a cell. He says I killed his brother. That he’ll stop at nothing to get revenge. He wants me to tell him everything I know, and when I can’t, the pain he inflicts is unimaginable. But beneath his cruel visage I see glimpses of something that makes my heart fall; a grieving soul lost to the madness of sorrow. I see the man he used to be, the one who terrifies me more than the monster he’s become. Because that man? He’s starting to want me. And the monster wants to keep me. Proving my innocence was my goal…. …but now I don’t know if that’s enough to grant me my freedom.

The love of his life forgot him—he’ll burn the world before losing her again…. Ember. I don’t remember my life before the last five years, and I don’t want to. I live in the shadows now, moving silently, killing without mercy. Then, Maximus shows up to assassinate the man who owns Dagon. Naturally, I try to kill him, and for the first time, I fail. Instead of delivering Max’s head to Dagon and ensuring our deal is upheld, I end up kidnapped by my would-be victim. Max insists we know each other, that we were once close. I proceed with trying to kill him, but my every attempt at escape or murder fails. Max is stronger, faster, and worse… I hesitate. Somewhere along the line, my knife stops aiming to kill. When I finally tell Max why my loyalty belongs to Dagon, he makes a promise I never saw he’ll eliminate the problem. He’ll kill Dagon. And he’ll claim me through some brutal, archaic tradition that binds hunter and weapon as one. Fighting for my life turns into foreplay. Taunting Max becomes my favorite pastime. And freedom fades to a distant memory. Until Dagon finds a new way to remind me who holds the leash—and everything fractures, threatening my life, Max’s loyalty, and the fragile order of the Nighthawks. less
