A Dark Romance She offers herself as prey. Not easy prey. But willing. OBSESSION BECOMES A MYSTERY Simon Lamb is a hunter at heart-taking women, training them, selling them. He has a new girl in his sights. Grace Martin is ripe for the picking-withdrawn, secretive, sheltered. She's so broken already, and that's just the sort of challenge Simon enjoys. MYSTERY BECOMES AN OBSESSION Gillian Starck's violent past threatens to catch up with her. Until she fled, Miles Vanderson could have been her savior once upon a time. He's a determined man, though, used to getting what he wants. Miles won't give up the chase easily. One story, two men. Who survives may be the real mystery. Excerpt: I want to be clear with you. I'm not playing a game. I'm not pretending or fantasizing. I've never been this honest with a woman before. When I say I won't be nice...it's closer to the truth to say that I will be cruel. I'm not offering you safety or love; I'm not offering you romance with tender kisses. What I offer most consider sadistic and brutal; the best of what I offer is my respect if you can be what I want, what I demand.
