It didn’t feel real until they showed up at my door—without their masks. When they knock, I let them in. Even though I know I should slam the door in their faces and call the cops. I know I shouldn’t be this curious, especially after what happened at the warehouse. But I can’t bring myself to turn them away. Nor can I bring myself to tell the police what really happened, no matter how many times they ask or how forcefully they press. What started as thrilling quickly turns into something darker. Something I’m not sure I’m ready for. Something I won’t be able to walk away from if I don’t act soon. Too bad they’re willing to do anything to keep me from leaving. They’ll tear down everything in my life until all I have left is them—and the twisted world they’re offering. They’ll threaten my friends, bind me to them in ways I can’t escape. If they get caught, I get caught too. After all, fair’s fair, right? Please read the content warnings at the beginning of the book. This book is dark, with content that could bother some readers. FALL is a short, spicy Halloween novella. It’s MMF, and book 2 in the Fair's Fair trilogy. It is extremely dark.

From serial killers to voyeurs all the way down to the devil himself, AJ's specialty is in writing irredeemable heroes who somehow still manage to captivate their heroines (and her readers).
