Vicious

What happens when the man stalking you is the only one who can save you from the monster you almost married?

SIMONE
I left him. Changed my number. Got a restraining order. Moved to a new apartment where he couldn't find me-where I could finally stop hiding the bruises.
I thought I was finally free.
But Garrett doesn't believe in free. He believes I belong to him-and he's coming to collect.
What I didn't expect was him. The silent enforcer who watches me from across the training facility. The scarred, dangerous man who knows my coffee order, my schedule, my secrets. He's been following me for months.
I should be terrified.
Instead, when he touches me, I feel something I'd forgotten existed.
Safe. Wanted. Alive.


KADE
I know I'm not a good man.
I've broken bones. Spilled blood. Done things that would make her run if she knew. My father raised a monster, and most days, I don't bother pretending otherwise.
But the first time I saw Simone Belaire, something cracked open inside me.
I've watched her for five months. Followed her home. Memorized the way she moves, the sound of her laugh, the exact shade of her smile. I know her ex is circling closer. I know what he'll do if he gets his hands on her.
He won't.
She thinks she needs saving. She's wrong.
She needs someone willing to burn the world down for her.
That's me.


When Garrett makes his move, all bets are off. Simone is caught between the polished predator who once put a ring on her finger and the brutal enforcer who'd paint the ice red to keep her.
One wants to own her. One wants to worship her.
Only one will walk away.
