The USA Today bestselling author of Once You're Mine delivers the finale of the wickedly steamy, dark romance duet following a criminal psychologist in a game of cat and mouse with her serial killer patient.

My monster isn’t locked away anymore. He’s free. And he’s mine.

Every wall I once built between us has been demolished, replaced by Ghost’s merciless obsession. He isn’t my convicted patient anymore. He’s my shadow, my captor, and my addiction. Except it’s not my fear he wants anymore. It’s my total surrender.

The deeper I fall into Ghost’s world of vengeance and destruction, the more I see the truth: He doesn’t just crave me. He wants to remake me in his image. And the most terrifying part? Somewhere in the darkness . . . I want it too.

So, when I uncover the brutal truth about my parents’ deaths, a fire ignites in me. Revenge. The killers thought they buried their sins with the bodies they left behind. They never expected me to unearth them. Now Ghost and I share a hunger that no justice system can contain. Together, we’ll make them bleed. Or die trying.
