As Chicago's most respected food critic, I thought I'd tasted it all. Until I encountered Adrian Vale's chocolates—and the darkness lurking beneath their perfect shells. 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. Instead, I found myself drawn deeper into his world—a world where justice is served in dark chocolate and passion bleeds into obsession. Adrian sees me for who I am, embracing the parts of myself I've always hidden. But as we hunt together, crafting exquisite confections with our special ingredients, I realize there's no going back. They say love changes you. They never mentioned it could be so seductively dark, or that I'd welcome the monster that lurked within. My Bloody Valentine is a dark stalker romance that explores the darker side of human nature and contains heavy subjects that some readers may find triggering. At the beginning of the book, you will have access to a full list of the warnings. This story has no cliffhanger and ends with a HEA.
