Delicious Prey

I'm trapped in a loveless marriage to a criminal defense attorney, surrounded by wealth but starved for affection.

Every day is a dull, suffocating repetition of pretending to be the perfect wife. I want to leave, but with no family and nowhere to go, I'm stuck.

Until Conor shows up again.

He's one of my husband's friends, a detective with a dark edge.

From the moment our eyes meet, he sees right through my facade, unraveling all my secrets with just a look. I know I should stay away, but the magnetic pull between us is impossible to resist.

Conor doesn't just see my pain-he revels in it, feeding off the cracks in my soul.

He says he wants to save me, but I can't shake the feeling that he's the most dangerous man I've ever met.

CONOR

I've dedicated my life to serving justice where the system fails.

I hunt down the monsters who slip through the cracks-pedophiles, rapists, murderers.

But Savannah is a different kind of obsession, one I've watched from the shadows for far too long.

Her husband thinks he can keep her on a leash, but I see her for who she truly is: a broken bird desperate for freedom.

I won't stop until she's mine.

I don't care if I have to tear her world apart to have her.

I don't care if I have to become the villain in her story.

Because once she's in my arms, there's no going back.

And if anyone, even her husband, tries to take her from me?

I'll make sure they never see the light of day again.
