She knows he's no saint, but she has no idea
she's dancing with the devil.
Cole Blackwell values control. He's the hottest sculptor
in San Francisco—wealthy, successful, and respected.
His only weakness is the dark impulse he carefully conceals.
In truth, he's not just an artist: he's a predator, and the
city is his hunting ground.
Mara Eldritch is a nobody. Broke and damaged, she works
three jobs while creating paintings no one will ever see.
When a chance encounter throws Mara into Cole's path, her
escape from certain death fascinates Cole. More than
that—it fixates him.
He begins stalking her, discovering there's more to the
struggling misfit than he would have guessed. She makes him
feel things he never thought he could feel. Want things he
thought he'd never want. He doesn't know if he should
protect her at all costs or destroy her before she ruins
him. He's losing control, breaking the rules that have kept
his true nature hidden from the world.
Mara knows he's dangerous, but Cole is the only person
who's ever recognized her talent, and it leads her heart
astray, straight into the dark.
Cole can teach her to get what she wants…but what
might this vicious killer want in return?
