His mahogany gaze haunts my waking hours. His touch ignites my dreams. I know him in intimate detail, but I’ve never laid eyes on him. Until now. I’ve always seen things I can’t explain, but the reality of Aidan in the flesh blindsides me. His presence is a captivating force I can’t fight. What’s worse…I don’t want to. He burrows under my skin and unearths my biggest secret, even as he hides his own demons. Then he warns me away. Stubborn man. I’m already in too deep, and if staying means I’m the next victim of the Hangman’s noose, then so be it. Not even the threat of a serial killer can keep me away. Part one of a three-part serial, at approximately 30,000 words. Intended for mature audiences.
