All I've ever known is violence. After being abused by the people closest to me, I despise being touched. Many nights of my past were spent wishing for death. The time came when I'd had enough. I snapped, taking back my life while ending another. Things took a turn for the better, but defending myself never changed. The night a stranger put his hands on me in the park, my blade came out to play. I wasn't counting on the gorgeous stranger witnessing my wrath. I didn’t expect him to watch me from the shadows every night after. I want to hate him, but his dark eyes and deadly past have me intrigued. No matter how much I push him away, or want to kill him, I don't. His filthy words unravel me. His touch sets me on fire. As darkness collides, obsession turns into something deeper. He knows my secrets. He's earned my trust. He owns my body. Giving him my heart? It may get us both killed... All trigger warnings are listed in the beginning of the book. Mature audiences only.
