Politics prepared me for many battles—but not for becoming the prize in three men's war against my father. I thought entering the Hollow's Hunt would be my rebellion, my escape from the suffocating expectations of being Ravenwood Hollow's golden daughter. Instead, I became prey to three predators with vengeance in their hearts. Dominic Vega, with his cold calculation and demanding touch. Liam Hayes, whose intellectual intensity masks desires that shock even him. And Ryder Caldwell, whose charming smile hides the most dangerous game of all.

Camping? Who likes to go camping? “C’mon, it’ll be fun,” he said. So here I am. Stuck in the middle of the Blackwater River State Forest with no cell service or running water, with Ryan, my camp-loving boyfriend. Alone. Or, I thought so, until I caught one of our neighbors watching us. Ryan doesn’t seem concerned about it when the stranger invites us back to their RV. Yes, THEIR RV. AJ, Jared, Cora, and Georgia. They all seem nice… at first. Strange things keep happening. Hopefully we get service soon.

She doesn’t know it yet, but she’s mine. I first saw Emily when I was on a job—rifle in hand, target in sight. But it wasn’t the mark who stole my attention. It was her. The girl in the window, lit up by the glow of her kitchen light, completely unaware she’d just become mine. I’ve been watching her ever since. Her private moments. Her sweet little routines. The way she moans softly when she touches herself, thinking no one can hear. She thinks she’s safe in her apartment, but I see everything. The men she dated? Gone. I made sure of it. No one touches what’s mine. I’m not a good man.

I’ve spent years trying to avoid Elias Morales, King of the syndicate academy. He hated me on first sight, and I learned to hate him. A hatred that never had any cause, but defined us both. Elias may be the most devastatingly handsome boy at the academy, but he’s cruel to the core. Senior year is finally here, and my escape is in sight. I’ll never have to see my tormentor again once I graduate. But, Elias doesn’t intend to let me go that easily. He wants to make sure I’ll never forget him, no matter how hard I try.

The problem with stalking a predator? Sometimes, they decide to keep you. I study killers for a living. I analyze their methods, dissect their psychology, and share their darkest deeds with my podcast listeners, but I’ve never encountered anyone like Remy. When I spotted him at the carnival, I knew he was different. Those powerful hands, that controlled grace, the darkness lurking behind his eyes—everything about him called to the shadows inside me. I told myself I was investigating the string of disappearances that followed the carnival’s route. But the truth? I was obsessed.

Every monster needs someone who understands them. I never thought it would be me. As a newly licensed psychologist fresh out of graduate school, I thought I was prepared for anything. Then I met Axel Morrison—charismatic, brilliant, and the most dangerous inmate in the facility. A man whose violent past should have sent warning signals blaring through my mind. Instead, I found myself drawn to him. To the darkness behind those piercing green eyes that seemed to see right through my professional facade to the shadows I've spent a lifetime denying. Each therapy session becomes a dangerous dance.

My gift of tasting emotions in food has always set me apart, but Adrian's creations awakened something deeper. Each truffle carried a void, an emptiness that called to the shadows within my own soul. When I discovered his deadly secret—the true source of his chocolate's unique intensity—I should have run straight to the police.

A masterpiece of unruly auburn curls, fiery eyes, and a spirit that can set the world ablaze. She is also the unfortunate driver I have to exploit to make my escape. I've been many things in my life—convict, murderer, psychopath. But the one thing I've never been is attached. She is supposed to be a means to an end. A less conspicuous way to travel. But amidst the chaos, we find a twisted serenity in each other's arms, making me want to keep her forever... if we can survive this.

He's everything I crave: thrilling, terrifying, and utterly irresistible. As our paths intertwine, I’m drawn into a world where fear and desire collide, and the line between pleasure and pain blurs.

Obsessive. Manic. Possessive. That’s the Omega I am—no matter how hard I tried to hide it. I once dreamed of Alphas who might love me with all my scars, and now that dream is in reach. These Alphas might need a little stitching together, but they’re dark, dangerous, and just as twisted as I am.

Even though all I dream of is a sketchbook and an alpha to cuddle. Now, I've been kidnapped and dragged on stage for auction: to be sold like a trophy. Everything seems hopeless until I scent match an alpha hidden in the crowd. He’s gotta be the highest bidder, right? He won't leave me like the last one did… But the Alpha who takes my chain isn't the one I want.
