In this riveting dark fantasy debut, a woman with missing memories fights to survive a war-torn world of necromancy and alchemy - and the man tasked with unearthing the deepest secrets of her past.
Just because he couldn't kill her doesn't mean his enemy won't.
Cole and Mara's relationship has grown to consume them both. Cole, sculptor and killer, finds himself adrift in a depth of feeling he's never known, while Mara, unafraid of his darkness, is blossoming into a successful artist, shaking off the trauma of her youth to finally chase success.
For the first time in both their lives, they might actually be...happy.
But the past has a long shadow.
Alastor Shaw is the Beast of the Bay, a frenzy-killer who once hoped to share his hunting ground with Cole. They never chased the same prey...until the night they both laid eyes on Mara Eldritch. And now, when Shaw realizes the cold-hearted Cole has fallen in love with the girl they once targeted, he plans to destroy him, using Mara as his weapon and pawn.
Cole will do anything to protect Mara, including making her strong enough to protect herself. And soon, he finds himself tempting her deeper and deeper into the depths of violence she never thought she'd commit.
Shaw's hunt won't stop. Neither will Cole's love.
When the time comes for Mara to act, will she be ready to do what needs to be done?

My name is Teddy O'Connor, and I just made a terrible mistake.
It's been six years since I was an intern for the Jacksonville Rays NHL team. Six years since I was wrapping ice packs on knees and playing Mario Kart on chartered planes. And it's been six long years since I first met him. Henrik Karlsson, star forward of the Rays...and king of my heart.
Oh god, I've got to get over this crush! I'm a doctor now, a respected professional in my field. And Henrik doesn't even know I exist.
As the Rays' newest physical therapist, I have a chance to launch my career. So you tell me why I'm risking everything to follow this man halfway around the world?!
After receiving news of his sister's tragic death, Henrik must fly to Sweden to retrieve his young niece. She's injured and grieving, but a new hockey season is about to start. Henrik can't possibly care for her alone. In fact, the Swedish government won't let him. He needs me. They both do. I'd be heartless not to help...right?
Well, that's what I told myself last week as I signed our Swedish marriage license. It's what I told myself yesterday as I moved my stuff into his apartment. And it's what I'm telling myself now as the Rays PR Director stares us down. They want this marriage to look real. The team's public image, our jobs, and his niece's custody agreement all depend on it.
But the Rays don't need to worry. My problem isn't that I don't love my new fake husband. God help me, my problem is that I do.
