Why we recommend it

A single, brutal word for a title and a promise to match: this dark romance trades on devastation, obsession, and the kind of hero who ruins everything he touches, including the woman he can't let go. The mood is raw and unsparing. For readers who like their love stories edged in danger, their men morally bankrupt, and their emotional damage delivered without a safety net.
